New FMLA Regs
The long-awaited changes to the Department of Labor’s Family and Medical Leave Act regulations have been published. I conducted an audio conference with my friend and colleague Charlie Plumb from Oklahoma yesterday on tough FMLA questions. We were asked a few times when we thought the new regs would be out, and we said somewhere between seven and 30 days. Close enough.
This DOL publication consists of 762 pages. The first 555 pages deal with comments received by the DOL about the regs, as well as the DOL’s own comments about the new regs. The remaining 207 pages contain the new regs themselves and the new forms.
Sometime next week, I’ll try to have a comprehensive analysis. If you want week-end reading, click here (courtesy of M. Lee Smith Publishers), and enjoy.
