FMLA law has to do with federal legislation that seeks to guarantee that employees receive time off from work when a baby is born, without losing their jobs. The Family & Medical Leave Act seeks to create a balance between the needs of businesses and individuals. The problem in FMLA law cases for employers occurs when the person leaving to have a baby is a key employee and is gone for a substantial amount of time. This can negatively impact the company’s business and therefore a lot of companies seek to hire a replacement. The law determines the circumstances under which this is legal, and also involves determinations about whether the leave will be with or without pay.
