The Family and Medical Leave Act is a law on labor that requires those huge employing
organizations to give provision of leave that is unpaid to employees for serious health issues of the
family. Such reasons on the medical and family basis are inclusive of issues such as military leave,
illness that is personal, family, foster care placement, pregnancy, and adoption. It also gives
