More than 50 million Americans today are family caregivers - the primary caregivers for sick, disabled, or elderly family members.

A casino employee suffering complications from pregnancy who was fired after exhausting her medical leave can't sue her employer, the New Jersey Supreme Court has ruled in reversing summary judgment for the plaintiff. The plaintiff was advised by her physician to request a leave of absence from work soon after she found out she was pregnant. Her employer's policy allowed a total of six months medical leave in a 12-month period, including Family and Medical Leave Act time. Her employer classified the first 12 weeks of her absence as FMLA leave, and the remainder of her time as medical leave pursuant to company policy. When the plaintiff exhausted her six months' leave time, she was terminated.
