Family and Medical Leave Act Military Caregiver and Exigency Leave Expanded
This week President Obama signed a bill into law that expands the military caregiver and exigency leave available under the federal Family and Medical Leave Act. Under the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2010, FMLA eligible employees who are family members of current Armed Forces members deployed to a foreign country, reserve, and National Guard members may take up to 12 weeks of leave for a qualifying exigency, e.g. military events, short-notice deployment, or child-care activities. Previously, only family members of reserve and National Guard members were eligible for qualifying exigency leave.
