FMLA is the Family Medical Leave Act. It provides for up to 12 weeks of unpaid leave per year , provided that your employer is covered, you have sufficient tenure, and a doctor signs-off on it.

Absent FMLA protection or a contract provision, your employer could fire you the day you get injured. WC statutes guarantee medical care and income support, not job security.
