Department of Labor to Publish Proposed Regulations Under the Family Medical Leave Act

The U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) will publish today in the Federal Register its proposed regulations under the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA).

We are in the process of reviewing and analyzing the DOL's comprehensive 477-page proposal, and are preparing a detailed analysis for distribution shortly.
