Which statement about FMLA leave is true?

• A. It is paid.
• B. It is not job-protected.
• C. It is unpaid, job-protected leave up to 12 weeks.
• D. It has no restrictions.

Answer: (C)

FMLA leave is unpaid and job-protected, up to 12 weeks in a 12-month period for eligible employees to address serious health conditions for themselves or a family member, or for qualifying military family reasons. The leave itself is not paid by the government, though some employers allow using accrued paid leave concurrently. Importantly, the leave comes with job protection, meaning you’re entitled to return to your same or an equivalent position after the leave ends. Eligibility depends on factors like employer size and how long you’ve worked there, and there are notice and medical certification requirements. So the statement that best fits is that it is unpaid, job-protected leave up to 12 weeks.
