Abstract
- The article discusses the correlations between the U.S. Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) and the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). FMLA provides eligible employees with leave benefits and the right to return to their jobs at the end of the leave period. On the other hand, ADA protects disabled employees from discrimination by requiring companies to provide reasonable accommodations. It is noted that both statutes are implicated when an employee returns to work after a leave of absence.
