What is FMLA?
FMLA or Family Medical Leave Act is a Federal law
enacted in 1993 which requires employers with more than 50 employees to provide
eligible workers up to 12 weeks of unpaid leave for birth, adoptions, foster
care placement, and illness of employees and/or members of their families.
Many states have also passed leave laws that must
be addressed in conjunction with the Federal FMLA.
What is Sedgwick CMS' FML Service? Sedgwick CMS' FML Service provides full tracking
and reporting of leave episodes under Federal, State, and client leave programs
in all 50 states. FML Service features automated correspondence and
e-mail delivery reflecting leave episode requests, extensions, and termination
activities.
