Have you heard of FMLA, The Family & Medical Leave Act? Maybe it's just in Arizona, I'm not sure. It was recommended today that my hubby file for it. We don't really know anything about it, I guess we should research it.
Do they have it in your area? Have you ever had to use it? I'd like to hear other people's experiences with it.

Do you know how long you are allowed to be on it, and does your employeer still pay for your medical Ins while your off?

@lilnana1111 Mine didn't, but I would imagine it's up to the employer.

I think it's a good program, I just need to find out more about it.

This is something available in all states it seems. One person we know works for a group that allows 12 weeks WITH PAY-which is wonderful. Many places do not pay you, but will give you leave.

It's a way for an employee to take time off of work because of a family medical emergency, or need.

@lilnana1111 I see, yes we have something similar. You can take time off work in some cases and family medical emergency is one of those cases.

This will be our first time using it.
