The Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) of 1993 allows eligible employees to take up to 12 weeks of unpaid leave per year for specific family and medical reasons, including caring for a spouse with a serious health condition. The act also protects the employee's job during their time away and guarantees that they have the right to return to the same or an equivalent position when they return to work. This law, therefore, allowed Eduardo's wife to leave her job to accompany him for his surgery without fear of losing her job, and ensured that she could return to the same job once she was back.
