What the source says
12-month period to care for a newborn, adopted or foster child, or to care for a family member, or to attend to the employee's own serious medical health condition. The law applies to private employers with 50 or more employees. The FMLA also allows states to set standards that are more expansive than the federal law and many states have chosen to do so. In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, many states have enacted or expanded family leave permanently. Additionally, some states have created voluntary paid leave models for employers to opt into through private insurers. States are also increasingly offering paid parental leave for public employees as a recruitment and retention tool in a competitive labor market.
