Essential Guide to Family & Medical Leave, The

by Lisa Guerin, Deborah C. England

The purpose of the federal Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) is to help employees balance the demands of work and family. But the law can be hard for employers to apply in the real world. Questions about eligibility, coverage, notice and certification requirements, administering leave, continuing benefits, and reinstatement can challenge even the most experienced managers.
This book has the plain-English answers to all of your tough questions about the FMLA. It provides detailed information, real-life examples, sample forms, and other tools to help you meet your legal obligations.
The 6th edition covers all the latest updates to the FMLA, including changes due to COVID-19, rules for same-sex couples, new cases explaining the application of the FMLA, state paid family leave laws, and more.

I read the 7th edition, not 4th edition. Easier to read than I expected, this book covers FMLA, military leave, disability leave, parental leave, pregnancy disability leave, etc. Parts are geared towards employers, parts toward employees.
