Abstract
This analysis of the Family and Medical Leave Act of 1993 examines the history of the legislation, the implementation of the act's provision s, the frequency of family leave requests, and the effect of mandated family leave on the workplace. We conclude with a set of recommendatio ns for employers and policy makers designed to reinforce and strengthe n existing family leave policy and to improve implementation of the Fa mily and Medical Leave Act.
