What’s the difference between this and the Family & Medical Leave Act?
This is paid.
Under the Family and Medical Leave act, you can leave your just-delivered baby with the folks and jet-off to Amsterdam or Cyprus for three (3) full months of unpaid vacation, while your co-workers bust their tails doing your job as well as their own, and your employer can’t fire you.
Now it looks like you can get paid too. Ahh, Uncle Sugar!
