According to the 2008 National Study of Employers, 11% of employers with 100 or more employees offered fewer than 12 weeks as the maximum job-guaranteed leave for employees to care for seriously ill family members, while 76% offered 12 weeks, and 13% offered more than 12 weeks. The average was 13.4%. These rates are not significantly different from those reported in 1998. (Table 6, p. 18)
