Under the Family Medical Leave Act, certain employees may be able to take up to 12 weeks of unpaid leave for a serious illness, for a serious illness of a family member, or to care for a new child.

This law is fairly new and the courts have not resolved many issues. Disputes tend to arise when employees are denied leave, find a change in job or duties upon return, or are treated differently upon return. Both an employer and employee should properly document the leave, the reasons for the leave and other relevant details. Documentation can prove quite helpful for both employers and employees if an issue arises.
