Most people don't know that

Most people don’t know that the Family and Medical Leave Act of 1993 guarantees that if you’ve held a job for at least one year and your company employs more than 50 people, you are entitled to 12 weeks of unpaid leave per year which you may use to care for a newborn child or a family member with a serious health condition. The FMLA further ensures that your position must be available to you when you return and that your medical coverage continues uninterrupted during the course of your leave. It’s unfortunate that paid paternity leave isn’t more common in the United States, but this law offers some assistance to fathers looking to stay home.
