Family Rights Act

The Family Rights Act is a law that protects employees’ rights to take leave for family-related reasons without risking their job. It allows eligible workers to take time off for events like the birth or adoption of a child, caring for a seriously ill family member, or their own serious health condition. The law ensures job protection and, in many cases, guarantees the same or comparable position upon return. It aims to support work-life balance while maintaining employee job security during significant family events.
