FMLA Deconstructed

This is just a quick reminder that the final regulations to the FMLA, issued on November 17 by the Department of Labor, take effect today.  The final regulations will implement the new military leave entitlements and make a variety of changes that will impact the day-to-day administration of FMLA leave.  We fully recognize that all of our readers have probably read every word in all 750 or so pages of the comments and final rule.  Nevertheless, Suits in the Workplace will begin a multi-part series breaking down the most significant aspects of the new regs, and the impact they will likely have on employers.  Expect a detailed discussion of the following topics: 

1) Employer Notice Requirements
2) Employee Notice Requirements
3) Certification and Recertification
4) Military Caregiver Leave
5) Qualifying Exigency Leave

More to follow . . .
