Job and Benefits Protection

Job and Benefits Protection under the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) ensures that eligible employees can take up to 12 weeks of unpaid leave for specific family or medical reasons without risking their job security. When they return, employees are entitled to reinstatement in their original position or a similar one with the same pay and benefits. This protection helps individuals manage serious health conditions or family needs while maintaining their employment status and benefits, such as health insurance, during their time away from work.
