FMLA

Under the FMLA, an employer who has more than 50 employees at its location is required to provide up to 12 weeks of unpaid leave of absence from work in any 12-month period to any employee who has worked for the employer for at least 12 months (which need not be consecutive) and at least 1,250 hours during the 12 months prior to the requested leave and who has sustained a “serious health condition.”

聯邦法律規定，雇員工作地點75邁之內如果公司人數超過50人，雇員可以申請12星期的無薪家庭醫療休假（family and medical leave act)，雇主不能解雇。雇員必須受雇12個月，坐滿1250小時的工作。

你的公司在你工作地點75邁之內沒有到達50人，所以你不受12個星期的保護。你可以休假，甚至人家說好休12天不會解雇你，可是後來解雇你了，你也沒有辦法。
