FMLA Webinar
Friday, January 23, 2009
Noon - 1:30 p.m. (Pacific)
COMPLYING WITH THE 2009 AMENDMENTS TO THE FMLA
The U.S. Department of Labor has issued its long-awaited final rule to update the Family and Medical Leave Act. The new rule is a whopping 762 pages long and represents the first significant overhaul of FMLA regulations and implementation since the law's original enactment over 15 years ago. The new rule, which becomes effective in mid-January, makes significant changes in how FMLA policy must be administered. It also provides detailed guidance on how to implement the new military service member leave benefits enacted earlier this year.
Implementing the new FMLA regulations will be expecially challenging for California employers. This is because our state family leave law (the California Family Rights Act) contains a provision obligating California employers to follow state law whenever it provides greater rights or benefits to the employee seeking family leave. To do that, California employers must understand how each change in the new FMLA regulations stack up against existing California law.
In our webinar, we will cover the following topics:
- Which FMLA rule changes will apply in California;
- The FMLA changes you need to implement right away;
- New mandatory forms, postings and processes;
- How the new military service leave rules must be implemented; and
- Compliance strategies: steps to take now to be in compliance.
