Under the Family Medical Leave Act, what would happen if an employee took a leave of absence for a family or medical emergency?​

Under the Family Medical Leave Act, an employee would either have the same job as the one they took after the end of a leave of absence, or they would get compensation that is the equivalent of the job they had before the leave of absence if the place the employee is employed at has at least 50 employees and the employee has been employed at said job for at least a year.

Explanation:

The Family Medical Leave Act was enacted in 1993 to protect worker's rights in the event that a family or medical emergency happens. With this act, workers in specific circumstances can be paid for the medical leave and/or not lose the job they had over 12 weeks. Employees under specific circumstances are also legally entitled to the required upholding and maintenance of their health insurance by their employer if they had any.

These actions that are required in the Family Medical Leave Act in favor of an employer are required to be upheld, or else a court in the event of a lawsuit against the employer will require the employer to comply with the Family Medical Leave Act and/or pay money in specific circumstances.
