Surveys About Family and Medical Leave

This series consists of data from a survey of employers and a survey of employees. The employer survey of private businesses contains information on their leave policies, how many employees took advantage of the Family Medical Leave Act (FMLA), how companies dealt with the costs, and how the FMLA affected business productivity, competitiveness and employee performance and attitudes.

The employee survey provides information on the number of leave-takers, those who needed leave but didn't take it, reasons for leave, lengths of leave and how they covered expenses during unpaid leave periods. These social surveys have information on work and family, employee fringe benefits and leaves of absence. This data comprises government records extracted from the Archival Research Catalog (ARC).
