January 29, 2007 by Ross Runkel at LawMemo
The deadline for comments on the FMLA has been extended to February 16 (it was February 2). [Federal Register Notice]
My previous entry on this:
Federal Register Notice: http://www.dol.gov/esa/whd/06-9489.pdf
Special DOL web site: http://www.dol.gov/esa/whd/fmlacomments.htm
The US Department of Labor has published a formal notice requesting comments on the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA). Instead of publishing proposed new rules for comment, DOL is first seeking comments on 12 substantive areas:
- (1) Eligible Employee
- (2) Definition of "Serious Health Condition"
- (3) Definition of a "Day"
- (4) Substitution of Paid Leave
- (5) Attendance Policies
- (6) Different Types of FMLA Leave
- (7) Light Duty
- (8) Essential Functions
- (9) Waiver of Rights
- (10) Communication Between Employers and Their Employees
- (11) FMLA Leave Determinations / Medical Certifications
- (12) Employee Turnover and Retention.
