Which act protects employees' rights to take unpaid leave for serious health conditions?

ADA
FMLA
HIPAA
OSHA

The correct answer is: FMLA

The Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) is the legislation that protects employees' rights to take unpaid leave for serious health conditions. Under the FMLA, eligible employees have the right to take up to 12 weeks of job-protected leave per year to care for themselves or a family member with a serious health condition, or for certain other qualifying reasons. This law is designed to help employees balance their work and family responsibilities by ensuring that they can take necessary time off for health-related issues without the fear of losing their jobs. Other acts mentioned do not specifically focus on this type of leave. The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) prohibits discrimination against individuals with disabilities and requires reasonable accommodations, but it does not provide for unpaid leave specifically for health conditions. The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) protects medical information privacy but does not address employee leave rights. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) is concerned with workplace safety and health standards and does not govern employee leave for health issues. Therefore, the FMLA is the correct choice for protecting unpaid leave rights in cases of serious health conditions.
