Family and Medical Leave Act The Family Medical Leave Act (FMLA) is one of the broadest civil rights laws as it requires private, state, and local employers who has more than 50 employees in a given calendar year whether current or preceding, no more than 12 weeks of leave without pay for medical purposes without fear of job loss (Henderson, 2006). Hence, in the past, employees have been labeled, counseled, put on probation, and terminated for taking too much time off away from the job. FMLA was created to help employees to balance the needs and demands of the workplace and their family obligations thereby promoting economic security as well as family stability and integrity. This law allows employees to take reasonable time off to take care of family obligations such as serious health conditions without a negative impact to their careers or future development in the organization.

Sick leave costing employees Prepared for Mr Alistair Hodgson Prepared by Robbie Quinnell (s2170710) Date submitted Wednesday 30 April 2014 17:00 Word count 1517 Executive Summary Sick leave is an entitlement of an employee. Employees can take sick leave when they can’t attend work while they are sick or injured and caring for someone. It aims at protecting workers and families during crises. Sick leave may have been due to various aspects including the inadequate management as employers shift their focus away from the employees and more on the business because of the global financial crisis; this has caused morale to drop and stress to surge. Researchers suggests that challenging and various demands between work and home responsibilities have affected employees in recent years, due to demographic and workplace changes such as greater numbers of women in the workforce, a complete change in family structures such as an increase in the number of single parents and technological advancements.
