The Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) is a federal law that provides eligible employees of covered
employers with unpaid, job-protected leave for certain family and medical reasons. In addition to
providing eligible employees with leave for qualifying reasons, covered employers must maintain
employees’ health benefits during leave and restore employees to their same (or equivalent) jobs after
leave.

This checklist outlines key steps for employers to comply with the FMLA. Keep in mind that complying
with the FMLA may involve additional steps depending on the facts of a specific situation. Also, many
states (and some localities) have their own family and medical leave laws that provide broader leave
protections to employees. Employers will need to comply with the FMLA and any applicable state and
local leave laws.
