at this new job I have, my boss, explained to me that clinton recently(recently when he was in office I suppose) had signed a law called the kid care law, which means that if you have sick time in your hours and have either a sick child or relative to care for and you call out sick, they cant write you up for calling out sick, the two previous jobs that I had where in a little small town with hardly no jobs where people seem to take advantage of their employees more, and dindt even mentioned this law to me. However at this new job the boss took the time to explained it to me. My question is are all employers required to participate in this law or do only some chose to participate? I will like to get answers from people that work in human resources or someone very familiar with this. I am curious because if it is something that all employers are supposed to participate in and the previous ones dindt that really bothers me. No bullshit rude or sarcastic answers please.
Answer:
If he is telling you about a Clinton law, then it is not called "kid care law". The law that he is referring to is Family Medical Leave Act (FMLA) and it was passed in 1993. It gives you up to 12 weeks of leave (which can be taken intermittently) in a 12 month period. Employers do not have a choice but to grant it.
Three exceptions:
1.The employer has less then 50 employees in a 75 mile area.
2.The employee hasn’t been with that company for a full year or they haven’t worked at least 1250 hours in that prior year.
3.The employee is considered a “key employee”, which means that they make in the top 10% of the company (example: a CEO would not be eligible)
One thing to note: your child/parent/spouse has to have a “serious health condition”, and simple things like colds or the flu do not count. If this is your case, you need to apply for it ahead of time and have the doctor document it.
Hope that this helps.
