What it means
FMLA provides up to 12 weeks of job-protected leave per year for an employee's own serious health condition, to care for family, or for certain military reasons. Administering it means tracking eligibility, certifications, intermittent leave and return-to-work clearances — exactly the coordination an absence-management program handles inside an occupational-health system.
