Staffing process

  Family and Medical Leave Act

FMLA   has played an important role in covering employees through providing unpaid leave and job protection.  The legislation has given employee the opportunity to cater for their family and at the same time hold a job position (Guerin & England, 2015).   FMLA has brought significant changes in retirement security and lifetime earnings.  Workers are allowed to boost their retirement saving and increases lifetime earning   since they have social security in their labor force.  According to U.S census Bureau, women have enjoyed the benefits following that out of 80.4% of women, 69% holds their jobs position, same hours and same skills after leave (Guerin & England, 2015). This indicates that women continue earning the pre-leave wages.  In addition, FMLA has eliminated the financial setbacks which affect the families.  Other important point is that FMLA has increased employer profitability hence boosting company’s profit.  Workers have improved their performance in that work-family programs have reduced absenteeism and employee turnover.  Companies with FMLA have increased their value and reduced-business operation cost (Guerin & England, 2015).

  Unemployment insurance

Unemployment insurance is influencing staffing through providing insurance payment to employees who have lost their job as a result of avoidable circumstances such as economic recession. UI is helping individuals to cater for their families through insurance (Pollak, 2007).  Workers are enjoying the benefits in that they are preventing large wage drops.  In addition, IU helps employees in getting employment in better companies where they earn higher wages.  This is evidence from the Australian data which shows that unemployment insurance helps works in finding better jobs (Pollak, 2007).  In times economic downturn, UI acts as an economic stabilizer in that it maintains higher GDP and reducing the rate of employment.
