MESSAGE FROM WAGE AND HOUR DIVISION
Since its enactment in 1993, the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) has served as the cornerstoneof the Department of Labor’s efforts to promote work-life balance and we have worked in support of the principle that no worker should have to choose between the job they need and the family they love. With the FMLA, our country made it a priority to give workers the ability to balance the demands of work and family. It made the healthy development of babies, healthy families, and healthy workplaces a priority. It was a remarkable accomplishment at the time and, since its enactment, the FMLA has been used more than 100 million times to help workers balance the demands of the workplace with the needs of their families and their own health.
