Arizona Business Gazette:  “Some new changes in federal law will require employers to provide free time off to workers in more situations. . . . companies that don’t alter their policies to comply could find themselves in hot water.  Key to the issue is the Family Medical Leave Act, a 1993 federal law that requires employers with at least 50 workers to grant 12 weeks of unpaid leave during any 12-month period under certain circumstances and without fear of being fired.”
