Administration to Release Long-Awaited Family Leave Proposal Jan. 30

January 26, 2012 – 10:55 am | By Kathryn McGovern | 1 comment

Regulations implementing expansions to the Family and Medical Leave Act will be proposed Monday, the White House announced today.

The 2009 legislative amendments added FMLA coverage for caregivers of wounded and ill service members and veterans. It also provided eligible employees the ability to take FMLA leave to tend to “qualifying exigencies” stemming from a service member’s deployment.

First Lady Michelle Obama along with Labor Secretary Hilda Solis will release the proposal at the U.S. Department of Labor Monday morning.

Stakeholders will likely have an opportunity to comment on the changes before they are finalized.

Check the SmartHR Manager Blog on Monday for more detailed coverage of the new rules.
