In 1993, the federal government passed
the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA). FMLA enables eligible
employees to take up to 12 weeks of unpaid leave for certain family
and medical events and allows them to return to their job or an
equivalent position after the leave has expired.
This law was enacted because many employers had not been sensitive
to work/family situations. Mott, on the other hand, has a long
history of recognizing the importance of balancing work and family
as evidenced by its liberal leave policies. To see the College’s
