Detailed explanation-2: -The FMLA was signed into law by President Bill Clinton in 1993. It allows workers to take up to 12 weeks of unpaid leave to bond with a newborn, newly adopted or newly placed child; care for a seriously ill child, spouse or parent; or care for their own serious health condition without fear of losing their jobs.
Detailed explanation-3: -The Family and Medical Leave Act was passed in 1993 to protect the jobs of employees while they are able to take a leave of absence for personal or family reasons. The employee can take up to twelve weeks of unpaid leave a year to attend important family matters such as pregnancy, family illness, etc.
Detailed explanation-4: -Employee Requirements Other circumstances would include an employee needing to take care of an immediate family member with severe health conditions. Finally, an employee may take unpaid leave under the Family Medical Leave Act if he or she is personally unable to continue to work due to a serious health condition.
Detailed explanation-5: -So what happens if an employee is not eligible for FMLA leave?

But just because that’s legal under federal law doesn’t mean that’s the best outcome.
