NEW FMLA REGS UPDATE....
Due to the November 17, 2008 changes to the Family and Medical Leave Act regulations effective on January 16, 2009 we recommend you visit our updated audio conference and CD titled, Understand the New FMLA Regulations: How to Comply Before the January 16 Deadline. Also see our day-long webinar or recording of FMLA Compliance Virtual Summit.
On February 11, the Department of Labor announced it's long-anticipated overhaul of FMLA leave regulations published in the Federal Register.
Finally, the DOL has responded to the many complaints from employers looking to clarify the muddy waters of this complex issue! The newly proposed regs contain changes to include new notice obligations for employers so that employees will better understand their FMLA rights, as well as revised employee notice rules to minimize workplace disruptions because of unscheduled FMLA absences.
Learn what these new changes mean for your organization by registering for the all-new HR Hero audio conference, DOL's New Proposed FMLA Regs Explained.
Will the revised DOL regulations make employers lives easier, or will they add to the confusion?
When you participate in this critical live event, you'll learn how to prepare for what lies ahead.
In just 90 minutes, an employment law attorney well-versed in FMLA issues will guide you through the newly proposed regulations with provisions that:
- Fine-tune procedures regarding required notices, medical and fitness-for-duty certifications, and designation of leave
- Clarify the eligibility requirements for employees who are jointly employed
- Clarify when an employee’s inability to work overtime exhausts FMLA leave
- Establish that light duty does not exhaust FMLA leave
- Allow employers to deny bonuses (such as perfect attendance or hours worked awards) to employees who don’t qualify for them because they took FMLA leave
- Allow employers to require employees to comply with the terms and conditions of their paid leave policies in order to substitute paid leave for FMLA leave
- Allow employees and employers to voluntarily settle claims of past FMLA violations
- Provide very minimal clarification of the definition of a "serious health condition"
If time allows, your speakers may also cover:
- The process to come - When might change be official? And what can employers do NOW to protect their interests? Is the battle over or just beginning? (Final regs could be approved 90 days after publication in the Federal Register, but the process might take longer.)
- The likelihood of long-term change - One observer quoted in an HR publication said the presidential and congressional elections may cause complications, and a new Congress next year could reject what this year’s Congress approves.
- The definition of "essential functions"
- Communication of the new regs between employers and employees
