The Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) is a federal law that provides certain employees up to twelve weeks unpaid, job-protected leave per year. The FMLA imposes certain notification responsibilities on employers. Notices about FMLA must be publicly posted, and if the employer publishes an employee handbook, the handbook should contain information about FMLA. It also requires that group health benefits be maintained during the leave.

action against your employer must be brought within 2 years after the date of the last event constituting the violation of the Family Medical Leave Act (FMLA). If the violation is willful, then the action may be brought within 3 years after the date of the last event constituting the violation of the Family Medical Leave Act (FMLA).

The Human Rights Commission does not enforce the FMLA, as it is a federal law. The Commission, can, however, provide you with information and technical assistance on the FMLA. Only certain employers are covered by the FMLA, and only certain employees are eligible for FMLA coverage. The United States Department of Labor (DOL) enforces the FMLA, or, you can seek assistance from a private attorney. For more information on the FMLA, you can visit the DOL's website: http://www.dol.gov/elaws/fmla.

The Family Medical Leave Act (FMLA) provides that you may receive damages equal to any wages, salary, employment benefits or other compensation denied or lost by reason of the violation. If the violation is proven to be willful then a court may double the amount of wages, salary or benefit or other compensation lost. You may also be entitled to reasonable attorney’s fees and expenses associated with the litigation of the matter.

Family and Medical Leave is 12 workweeks (60 days) of job protected leave for eligible employees. It does not specify that you be paid while you are out, but we run Family and Medical Leave in conjunction with our paid leaves.

The R.I. Parental and Family Medical Leave Act is thirteen consecutive weeks of unpaid leave for the birth of a child, placement of an adopted child sixteen years or age of younger, or a serious illness or injury, impairment or condition that involves inpatient care in a hospital, nursing home or hospice; or outpatient care requiring continuing treatment or supervision by a health care provider.

There is nothing in the Illinois Workers' Compensation Act that addresses the FMLA. Because the FMLA is federal law, we do not administer it and cannot advise individuals on it. For information, please contact the US Department of Labor.

The Family and Medical Leave Act, effective August 5, 1993, requires an employer to maintain coverage under any group health plan for an employee on FMLA leave under the same conditions coverage would have been provided if the employee had continued working.
