Legal Question in Medical Leave in Pennsylvania
Employer w/ less than 50 employees
A client of mine is re-writing her employee manual. She has much less than 50 employees and owns a private practice. She insists that they have rights under the Family Medical Leave Act, is this true and if so, what are they?

Re: Employer w/ less than 50 employees
The last time I researched it for a close to
50 employee company, all remedies are tied to
the 50 employee cutoff. The same rules apply
for counting as with the 15 employee limit for
Title VII. Therefore, an employee of such a company has
no enforceable rights under the act. Your friend
is just inviting confusion and resultant expence by
implying that her employees have rights that they in
fact do not have. However, if she wishes to provide
a similar job benefit on a voluntary basis, she could
do so. I would advise making this clear.
