re: Leave bill excludes healthcare workers?

FMLA applies to all public agencies, all public and private elementary and secondary schools, and companies with 50 or more employees. These employers must provide an eligible employee with up to 12 weeks of unpaid leave each year for any of the following reasons:

For the birth and care of the newborn child of an employee;

For placement with the employee of a child for adoption or foster care;

To care for an immediate family member (i.e., spouse, child, or parent) with a serious health condition; or

To take medical leave when the employee is unable to work because of a serious health condition.
