Reviewing the Proposed FMLA Regulations

Employer Law Report reviews the same proposed FMLA regulations I noted in Employment Law: FMLA News.

The following contains the general point made in Proposed FMLA Regulations Largely Disappointing for Employers:

Although there are some useful new provisions, the changes are largely disappointing for employers who were hoping that the new regulations would offer much-needed clarification and relief from administrative burdens. Despite the disappointment, employers must still take the time to understand the differences between the “old” 1995 regulations and these “new” 2008 proposed regulations. To that end, the most significant changes affecting employers are listed below."
