Disability and Sick Leave Rights

Disability and sick leave rights refer to the legal protections that ensure employees can take time off work due to illness or disability without losing their job or income. Under laws like the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) and the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), eligible workers can access unpaid leave or reasonable accommodations. Employers must follow specific regulations to prevent discrimination and provide support, allowing employees to recover or manage their conditions without fear of retaliation or job loss. Understanding these rights is crucial for maintaining a fair workplace.
