The Department of Labor recently released an updated poster and a new Employer's Guide about the Family and Medical Leave Act. The updated poster is designed to be easier to read and understood by employees. It is not a requirement to post the updated poster, but it is recommended so employees have a clear understanding of their FMLA rights.
Covered Employers under the FMLA and their General Notice Requirements;
When an Employee Needs FMLA Leave;
Qualifying Reasons for Leave;
The Certification Process;
Military Family Leave;
Issues During an Employee's FMLA Leave; and
FMLA Prohibitions.
It should be understood that this Guide expresses the opinion of the DOL. While it may be a good starting point for employers, it is not necessarily the final word on a given matter. A court could disagree with the DOL's interpretation. Employers should contact legal counsel with any questions concerning FMLA and its application and interpretation in the workplace.
