As an HR manager for the past 18 years, I have seen many employees benefit from the FMLA. Although it added another layer of complexity to already confusing HR policies, it is truly a wonderful benefit for the worker. Happy anniversary FMLA!

20th Anniversary of FMLA
On February 5, 1993, President Clinton signed the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA)and declared, "I am very proud that the first bill I sign as president
truly puts people first. America's families have beaten the gridlock in
Washington to pass Family and Medical Leave." FMLA provides for
job-protected parental leave for the birth or care of a child, but the Act also
helps caretakers of injured or ill relatives, military families and caregivers,
workers with personal health problems and so much more.
