Some small, local construction companies will never have to deal with regulations under FMLA and some other laws because they don’t have enough workers to trigger their mandatory compliance. However, as a company’s employee roster grows, so does its obligation to abide by several labor-related rules.
FMLA applies to companies with 50 or more employees and provides for up to 12 weeks of unpaid leave for family events like the birth or adoption of a child. Employees suffering from an illness or taking care or sick family members are also eligible to take time off under the regulation.
