The Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) of 1993 was enacted during the administration of President Clinton. The act is a labor-related law that permits an employee to take an unpaid leave of absence from a job, under two types of conditions. First, if an employee becomes ill and is unable to perform his or her job, that individual would qualify for leave under the act. Second, if a family member is ill or an employee has to care for a newly born child, that worker can take a leave of absence. A person also can apply for leave if the employee has adopted a child. I know, Frunas, i'm a genius. I remember when this happened and Clinton was looking quite happy when he signed it. Maybe he was getting a Lewinski while signing the bill into law.
