Military Family Leave

Military Family Leave is a provision under the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) that allows eligible employees to take up to 12 weeks of unpaid leave to manage family needs related to a family member's military service. This includes caring for a seriously injured or ill service member or addressing urgent needs arising from a family member’s active duty. Employees must notify their employer and meet specific criteria to qualify. The law ensures job protection, meaning employees can return to their positions after their leave.
