Many employers face new state family leave laws
Article Abstract:
Family leave laws were introduced in around 30 states in 1991. These leaves of absence covered mothers with newly-born babies, sick employees or employees with new children or sick family members. In 1991, several states including California, Florida and Hawaii established and revised their leave laws. Alaska, Delaware, Georgia and several other states will legislate on leave measures which were not passed. More states are expected to enact leave laws in the absence of a national measure. Employers must consider these laws because they affect labor productivity.

What the Family and Medical Leave Act means for employers
Article Abstract:
The Family and Medical Leave Act of 1993 (FMLA) requires employers to face many new compliance issues, including integration of family leave with other programs in place. FMLA entitles employees to leave for child, spouse, or parent care as well as recuperation of the employee. Employers must decide how to handle employee contributions under FMLA , as well as substitution of vacation time, integration with medical leave and health benefits, and expanding leave beyond FMLA minimum.
