Conclusion of story maternity for summary

Answer 1

This report presents a detailed look at employee and establishment experiences with family and medical leave in 2000, seven years after the implementation of the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) and five years after the last detailed report, A Workable Balance: Report to Congress on Family and Medical Leave Policies. This report, like the earlier one, documents the extent to which the FMLA and other family and medical leave policies are meeting the needs of employees without imposing undue burdens on employers and also points to areas where these needs are unmet or where employers are reporting significant burdens. The following sections of this chapter describe the methods and major findings of this report and identify areas for further research.
