This February marks the 22nd anniversary of President Bill Clinton signing into law the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA). The FMLA provides a bevy of protections to employees who are—or have family members who are—suffering from an illness.

Perhaps most importantly, the FMLA provides that, over a 12-month period, eligible employees are entitled to take 12 workweeks of leave and return to their same position and under the same conditions.
