One of President Clinton's major accomplishments was signing into law the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) in 1993. This was the first major legislation to be passed that provided unpaid, job-protected leave for certain medical and family reasons. It was the first time since 1969 that a significant federal law addressing worker benefits had been enacted.
No. The Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) provides for 12 weeks of unpaid leave in a 12 month period. Your employer may allow you (or require you) to take vacation or sick leave to cover the time, or may offer a short term disability insurance plan, but there is nothing in any of the federal laws that mandates payment during FMLA leave.
A person can take time off work for family medical leave. The typical amount of time off is six weeks.
