Family Medical Leave Insurance (FMLI)

Family Medical Leave Insurance (FMLI) is a program that provides paid leave to employees to care for their own serious health conditions, or to care for a family member with a serious health issue, or to bond with a new child. Unlike unpaid family leave laws, FMLI ensures that workers receive a portion of their salary during this time, promoting both family health and employee job security. Funding typically comes from small payroll deductions, making it a shared responsibility between employees and employers, helping families manage significant life events without facing financial hardship.
