Through approved FMLA leave of absences, companies allow employees to deal with chronic conditions, acute illnesses, pregnancies, or to care for ill loved ones. However, some employees abuse business owners by obtaining unwarranted leaves from work. When employees abuse FMLA rights, they create unnecessary and costly problems for employers and co-workers through absenteeism, overworked staff, a need for temporary workers, missed production deadlines, and eventually lost business.
NY FMLA
The federal FMLA and New York Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) set parameters for family and medical leaves in New York, allowing employees 12 weeks of absence during the year to deal with medical issues, whether personal or regarding a family member.
