Even though the live seminar on this topic has already taken place, you can still hear it! For your convenience, we've recorded it on CD and audio stream, so you can listen when you have time or share it with colleagues in your organization.
After several long months of waiting for clear guidance on the Family and Medical Leave Act, the Department of Labor is moving closer to issuing the new FMLA regulations.
The DOL has sent the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) its final draft of revised Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) regulations, which is expected to be published in the Federal Register this month.
Learn what to expect from the new regulations by participating in the all-new new audio conference, Understand the New FMLA Regulations: What Changes on January 16. Due to high demand, this critical live event is being held on two dates: December 8 and December 17.
In just 90 minutes, you'll get a briefing on the new regs from employment law attorneys well-versed in FMLA issues, including Federal Employment Law Insider editor David S. Fortney, Susan M. Webman - an attorney with extensive experience with the DOL regulatory process, and Federal Employment Law Insider contributor Rodney A. Satterwhite - who has written numerous articles involving FMLA.
Your speakers will discuss the expected impact from the DOL's final rules, which could include:
- New notice requirements for employers
- New notice requirements for employees
- Foreseeable leave - Employees would be required to give 30 days' notice, or as much
notice as practicable.
- Unforeseeable leave - Employees would have to give notice as soon as practicable,
which generally means either the same day or the next business day.
- Medical certification - The proposed regs include a new medical certification form,
Form 380, that would give employers more information than the previous form and give
doctors the option of including a diagnosis.
- New certification, recertification. Employers would be able to seek a new
certification each leave year for conditions lasting longer than six months.
- Intermittent leave - Employees would be required to make a "reasonable effort" (as
opposed to an attempt) to schedule intermittent leave to avoid workplace disruption.
- Serious health conditions - To have a "serious health condition," employees must have
two treatments within 30 days of becoming incapacitated.
- Other proposed changes and clarifications may include perfect attendance bonuses, settlement of claims of past FMLA violations, computing the 12-month service requirement and substituting paid leave for FMLA leave.
