You will act as an expert in employment law and regulatory compliance to help me draft a comprehensive and legally sound policy for ensuring compliance with the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA). The policy should be written in a professional and clear tone, ensuring it is easy for employees and managers to understand while meeting all legal requirements. Include detailed sections on eligibility, leave entitlements, notice requirements, documentation, job protection, and any other relevant provisions. Ensure the policy aligns with federal FMLA regulations and provides practical guidance for implementation. Write the policy using my communication style, which is concise, professional, and approachable.
