Department of Labor (DOL) Publishes Final FMLA Rule
DOL has published its Final Rule implementing the January 2008 amendments to the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA). In addition to modifying existing FMLA regulations to add military family leave entitlements enacted in the National Defense Authorization Act of 2008 (NDAA), the final FMLA Regulations provide needed clarification about employer and employee rights and responsibilities under the FMLA.
The revised FMLA Regulations take effect on January 16, 2009. You can visit DOL's final rule website for the Final Regulations and a useful Fact Sheet highlighting key changes to the FMLA Regulations.
Contact Lori Searcy at 703-644-4122, for questions on the FMLA or other business and employment laws.
