The Department of Labor Issues New FMLA Regulations

Posted on November 26, 2008 by Daniel Burnick

The Department of Labor recently issued extensive (over 750 pages) FMLA regulations, effective January 16, 2009. Among other things, these regulations address Military Family Leave, allowing up to 26 weeks of leave to care for a servicemember. These  regulations attempt to reconcile the differences between the 2008 FMLA amendments, existing military law, and USERRA.

I will continue to update you as to what I believe are the important issues created by the new regulations as we get closer to January 16, 2009.

Practice Pointers

1. Get ready to train your HR staff concerning the new FMLA regulations.

2. Train your front line supervisors concerning the FMLA process in light of the new FMLA regulations.
