The Family and Medical Leave Act of 1993: how fully is business complying?
Article Abstract:
This article examines compliance with the federal Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA), based on a survey of primarily California employers conducted three months after the implementation of the FMLA and nearly two years after passage of similar California legislation. Survey results reveal that 40% of respondents were out of compliance with at least one of the four basic provisions of the FMLA: availability of at least 12 weeks of unpaid leave a year for all eligible employees with personal or family illness or a new child; continuation of health benefits while on leave; restoration to the same or equivalent job; and notification of employees regarding their rights under the FMLA. Firms with fewer employees generally were least likely to be in compliance and had implemented fewer policy components related to the law's implementation. (Reprinted by permission of the publisher.)

Woman to woman: mentoring senior women
Article Abstract:
Women who reach a senior position in an organization often find that they have very few role models, although they increasingly act as a role models for others. They need the support of other women who, whilst outside the organization, understand what it is like to hold a senior position. Such a relationship is most likely to be successful when the mentee is willing to take responsibility for her role in the process by considering how each meeting should be used. The mentee must also be willing to consider any aspect of herself to further her development.
