- Sorting out when employees may settle or waive FMLA claims

As an editor of Federal Employment Law Insider, David S. Fortney follows changes in federal employment laws and regulations very closely, especially those involving the Family and Medical Leave Act. The headline in the January 2008 issue was, "Expansion of FMLA for military service members’ families likely to become law."
Co-founder of Fortney & Scott, LLC, Mr. Fortney counsels clients on the full spectrum of work-place related matters, including employment discrimination and labor matters, compliance programs, government contracting, executive employment and compensation, international dispute resolution and counseling matters, and developing strategies for avoiding or responding to workplace-related crises.
Mr. Fortney was recently recognized as one of the leading labor and employment lawyers by two independent surveys of fellow attorneys. He has been listed in the 2009 edition of The Best Lawyers in America and the Washington DC's Best Lawyers 2009 edition.
Additionally, Mr. Fortney has been recognized again in the 2009 edition of the annual Chambers USA ratings of Washington, DC's top labor and employment attorneys. Mr. Fortney was ranked by Chambers USA in Band 1, which is the highest ranking that was awarded to only five labor and employment attorneys in Washington, DC.
Susan M. Webman, an attorney with Fortney & Scott, LLC, is a former DOL attorney whose portfolio at the agency included developing and enforcing the policies underlying the USERRA regulations. She has had extensive experience with the DOL regulatory process, military leave and FMLA issues during her more than 25 years of employment law practice.
She served as the Counsel for International Affairs/Opinions at DOL in the George H.W. Bush and Bill Clinton administrations. As principal DOL drafter for USERRA, she coordinated and led the Executive Branch interagency task force and worked with the White House and Congress prior to its enactment.
Also a contributor to Federal Employment Law Insider (including articles involving FMLA), Rodney A. Satterwhite is a partner in the Labor & Employment Department at McGuireWoods LLP, where he has practiced for the last 17 years. His specific areas of practice include Title VII of the Civil Rights Act, the Americans with Disabilities Act, the Age Discrimination in Employment Act, and the Family and Medical Leave Act.
He has litigated claims in state, federal and administrative courts, including the U.S. Courts of Appeal for the 1st, 2nd, 4th and 6th Circuits. He also argued one of the first cases interpreting the FMLA in the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals, addressing an employer's right to continue an employee's disciplinary probation while on protected leave.
