Job Protection Act
This bill expands access to job-protected leave under the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) by reducing the required employment duration from 12 months to 90 days for most workers. It also broadens coverage to apply to all employers, regardless of size (down from the previous 50+ employee threshold), affecting nearly all private and public sector workers. Key provisions include modifying FMLA eligibility rules, adjusting federal employee leave requirements, and updating congressional employee provisions to align with the new 90-day standard. The changes apply to leave taken on or after the bill's enactment date.
