H&W: FMLA Final Rule Effective 3/8/13
FMLA Final Rule : On February 6, 2013, the DOL published a final rule to implement statutory amendments made over the last several years.
Several of the changes to the FMLA regulations, which become effective on March 8, 2013, include:
- Military caregiver leave for a veteran;
- Qualifying exigency leave for parental care; and
- A special leave calculation method for flight crew employees.
The final rule requires the use of updated FMLA forms and poster beginning March 8, 2013.
Although this is generally considered an employment law, Compliancedashboard provides information on theFMLA as it relates to benefit coverage during and after FMLA leave. A Compliancedashboard login will be required to access this information.
Please note that employees at work sites with less than 50 employees are not covered by the FMLA, if the employer employs fewer than 50 employees within a 75-mile radius of that work site.
