The Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA), Oregon Family Leave Act (OFLA) and Oregon Paid Family & Medical Leave (OPFML) were enacted to assist employees and employers in balancing the demands of the workplace with the needs of employees and their families when leave is needed for a serious health condition, pregnancy, parental, bereavement, and military family leave (exigency and caregiver leaves).
Protected Leaves offer job-protected time away from work for your own serious health condition, because you need to care for an eligible family member with a serious health condition, or for another qualifying event. Leave may be taken all at once or intermittently as the medical condition requires. The leave laws define who is eligible, what absences and family members qualify, if your health insurance benefits will be protected, and how much leave time you may take during your leave year.
