LeaveSource™ – Industry Leading FMLA Software
Benefits of family medical leave are intended to be applicable to both employees and employers. When he signed it into law in February of 1993, President Bill Clinton said that FMLA was intended to ” balance the demands of the workplace with the needs of families.” Employees, for the most part, would agree that such a balance was accomplished. Because qualified employees regularly utilize and are entitled to up to 12 weeks of unpaid, job protected, leave per 12 months for qualifying conditions. Those conditions include; care for a serious health condition, whether for an employee’s care of self, parent, spouse, or child. Also for pregnancy, care of one’s newborn, or for the adoption or foster care placement of a child, to care for an injured service member in the family, and to address qualifying exigencies arising out of a family member’s deployment. And though they might not believe it, employers can also see benefits of family medical leave.
Employers receive benefits of family medical leave in the form of employee appreciation, loyalty, and good work ethics. Companies that don’t do a good job with the FMLA leave process typically have a higher incident rate of leave abuse, lower company morale, and less company loyalty. So employers that streamline and excel in the FMLA process do not go unnoticed or unappreciated. Combined with the high cost of FMLA lawsuit defense, the increasing number of large dollar judgments being levied against non-compliant employers, and the Department of Labor’s announced increase in audits, inquiries and investigations, it seems apparent that covered employers should strive to do their best in administering FMLA, in order to get the most from the benefits of family medical leave.
