What it is
FMLA covers eligible employees of employers with 50+ people within 75 miles: 12 workweeks in 12 months for a serious health condition, a new child, or a family member. Group health coverage continues on the same terms during leave, and reinstatement to the same or an equivalent role is required.
What to do about it: Get leave dates and the return date in writing. A return that changes schedule, scope, or pay starts a record you must build from day one.
