Employees who meet certain service requirements are entitled, through the federal Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA), to take leave of up to 12 weeks per year for serious personal or family health conditions. This leave can also be used for the arrival of a new child by birth, adoption, or foster placement. Although FMLA leave is unpaid, the employee may elect to charge appropriate leave credits in order to continue income during such an absence.
