Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA)

The Family and Medical Leave Act secured important benefits for employees who need to attend to a major family event or health crisis. But what does it mean for small business employers?

You know that the Family and Medical Leave Act has ramification for big corporations, but as a small business you're exempt, right? Maybe not . . .

Compliance with the Family and Medical Leave Act requires more than just granting leaves to eligible employees. You're also required to meet FMLA poster requirements in your workplace.

The Family and Medical Leave Act has strict criteria about the reasons employees can take a leave . . . and as a small business employer, you have a stake in making sure your employees are requesting leaves for the right reasons.

The Family and Medical Leave Act includes recordkeeping mandates for employers. If you don't know what those mandates are, your business may be violating federal law.
