The United States is
looking out for its service men and women once again. Military families now
have even more protection afforded to them under the Family Medical Leave Act
(FMLA). Although the Act has twice been expanded to accommodate military personnel
and their loved ones, it has once again been amended for them. Family members
of service men and women will now receive an additional 14 weeks of
job-protected time off to care for injured service members and deal with other
deployment related issues that may arise. Furthermore, airline flight crew
employees, due to their work schedules, will receive greater access to the FMLA
benefits. Military families can have some stress eased knowing that the
original 12 guaranteed work weeks have now been increased to 26 weeks. This
will allow family members to more adequately care for their beloved service
members without having the added worries of maintaining employment.
