For limited numbers of employees.

huh? it only applies to limited number of employees? I don't think
we are talking about the same thing.

If you're talking about the US, then yes, we are. Read the law. Here's a
starting point:

so what? you asked: "what benefits does the federal government
require of employers?"

And that's a good start. You implied there were others. Does the federal
government require employers to provide any other benefits besides unpaid
time off? (When I think of "benefit", I'm usually thinking of something
that is of more value than not getting paid. Something like "free" medical
coverage or matching retirement contributions - like the retirement plan
that started this thread.)
