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. For instance, my grandmother raised me and when she was sick with kidney disease, she needed me to take her back and forth to her dialysis appointments three times a week.
