Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA)

Read a random definition: community lease

A quick definition of Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA):

The Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) is a law that says employers have to give workers time off if they have a baby or a serious health problem. Workers can take up to 12 weeks off, but they won't get paid. When they come back to work, they should have the same job they had before. To be able to take FMLA, workers need to have worked for their employer for a year and worked at least 1,250 hours in the previous year. This law only applies to employers with at least 50 workers.

A more thorough explanation:

The Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) is a law that requires employers to provide up to 12 weeks of unpaid leave to eligible employees for certain family and medical reasons. This means that employees can take time off from work without fear of losing their job or benefits.

Examples of reasons for taking FMLA leave include:

  • The birth, adoption, or foster care placement of a child
  • A serious health condition that makes the employee unable to perform their job
  • The need to care for a spouse, child, or parent with a serious health condition

To be eligible for FMLA leave, employees must have worked for their employer for at least 12 months and have worked at least 1,250 hours during the previous 12 months. Additionally, the employer must have at least 50 employees within a 75-mile radius of the employee's worksite.

It's important to note that FMLA leave is unpaid, but employers may require employees to use their accrued paid leave during their FMLA leave. Additionally, employers must continue to provide health insurance benefits to employees on FMLA leave.

Overall, the FMLA is designed to help employees balance their work and family responsibilities without fear of losing their job or benefits.

U have great stats! I wouldn't be too nervous. Did u write why Northwestern and why Chicago?

16:22
having a masters degree is probably a positive, it shows you can do grad level coursework and probably generated a strong rec letter
@RightPlant: you have a great chance at Northwestern!
Chicago, also not a bad chance, but it is more of a crapshoot
Esp since they care more about GPA than LSAT
