FMLA Revision

The Department of Labor (DOL) today announced that it will be issuing a newer, more user-friendly FMLA (Family and Medical Leave Act) poster, along with a guidebook for employers.employerguide-tn

The new poster can be used interchangeably with the previous version, but one or the other is mandatory if your company qualifies for FMLA leave for its employees (at least 50 employees within a 75-mile radius).

The new “Employer’s Guide to the Family and Medical Leave Act” is designed to “provide essential information about the FMLA, including information about employers’ obligations under the law and the options available to employers in administering leave under the FMLA.”
