Here's the info my company gave us on the FMLA:



The FMLA of 1993 allows you, if you are an eligible employee, to take family & medical leave from your job to fulfill certain family obligations - while protecting your job and health benefits.  I believe a company who has more than 50 employees must comply with the act.  Some qualifying reasons are:



Birth of and care of newborn child

Placement of and care of adopted or foster child

Care for spouse, child or parent who has a serious health condition

Own serious health condition that prevents you from working.



You are allowed up to 12 weeks.



At my company, you have to have atleast 12 months of service and 1,250 hours to qualify



Hope this helps... nolalady



Medication Certification must be provided for is the reason is illness.
