Overview: This paper describes the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA). Under this act employees cannot simply demand leave under the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA)-they must provide employers with a minimum amount of information showing they are entitled to such leave, held the 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals. The FMLA entitles an employee to 12 weeks of unpaid leave during a 12-month period for reasons including caring for a family member's "Serious health condition." Normally, 30 days' notice is required, but if the need for leave is unforeseeable, or is foreseeable in less than 30 days, the employee must give the employer notice as soon as practicable. If the employee fails to give notice, the employer can deny the leave, regardless of whether the medical reason for the leave is genuine.
