Implications of the Family and Medical Leave Act for organisations

Provides a brief overview of the Family and Medical Leave Act and discusses the implications for employees. Considers the problems experienced by employers as they attempt to comply with the act and the reaction of organisations to the extension of this act in relation to unemployment benefit. Gives recommendations for employers to help with some of the administrative problems faced and concludes that the law was well intended but continues to cause confusion for the public and place burdens on the employer.
