Which type of leave can be taken for bonding with a newborn or newly adopted child?

Single leave day
Paid time off
FMLA leave
Unpaid leave only

The correct answer is: FMLA leave

The correct option is FMLA leave because the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) specifically allows eligible employees to take up to 12 weeks of unpaid, job-protected leave for certain family and medical reasons, one of which is to bond with a newborn child or a newly adopted child. This provision is designed to support families in transitioning during the birth or adoption of a child, ensuring that parents have the time they need without the risk of losing their job. The other choices do not specifically align with the legal provisions outlined in the FMLA for bonding purposes. Single leave day may not provide the adequate duration necessary for bonding. While paid time off can be used for this purpose if policy allows, it isn't specifically mandated by law to cover bonding time. Unpaid leave only may imply a lack of job protection or not adhering to the stipulations of FMLA. The FMLA specifically addresses the need for bonding time with legal protections, making it the most comprehensive and appropriate choice in this context.
