Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) apply to employers with 50 or more employees in a 75 mile radius. Part time and temporary employees are included in the head count for number of employees. The changes to the FMLA went into effect on January 16, 2009. These changes will require employers to make numerous changes to their FMLA polices and practices. The changes include two new types of leave related to an individual’s military status. The Act protects employee’s who are related to a military member. In addition to other requirements, new notice and certification procedures are included in the changes.
Managing the FMLA process is much more complicated and time consuming than ever. If you need assistance learning what you need to do now that the changes are in effect, please feel free to contact me at TheWhitfordGroup@aol.com or visit my website for information on a free risk analysis at www.TheWhitfordGroup.com.
