FMLA Complete Compliance

New FMLA regulations went into effect March 8, 2013! 

Complying with the Family and Medical Leave Act has never been more complicated, now that revised regulations demand changes to your company's policies and procedures. 

Recently, the DOL implemented a final rule that carries out amendments the National Defense Authorization Act of 2010 made to FMLA. While this recent guidance isn’t exactly controversial, it’s still important for employers to ensure their policies and practices related to military caregiver and qualified exigency leave align with the new rule, effective March 8, 2013, especially when you consider these recent DOL figures:

• Nearly 27,000 employees are eligible to take leave to care for a covered veteran under the new FMLA regulations.
• About 26 percent of these employees will take advantage of the new regs and take leave time to care for a covered veteran.
• The DOL estimates that there will be 357,000 employee requests for military caregiver leave.

You need to be up to date on these recent developments so you plan accordingly in order to minimize legal liabilities when designating and administering FMLA leave.
