Which act allowed workers with new children or sick family members to take up to 12 weeks of unpaid leave?

The Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA), enacted in 1993 in the United States, allows eligible workers to take up to 12 weeks of unpaid leave for family and medical reasons, including the birth of a child or the care of a sick family member. This legislation aims to provide job protection for employees during significant life events while ensuring they can return to their positions after the leave.
