Family and Medical Leave Act under the microscope.(HUMAN RESOURCES)(Department of Labor reviews Family and Medical Leave Act of 1993)(Brief article)
Kiplinger Letter, The, March, 2007
The Family and Medical Leave Act is under the microscope at the Labor Department, which recently invited comments on FMLA regs.
Expect changes in the FMLA's "intermittent leave" provisions. They cover time taken for medical procedures such as chemotherapy.
Tighter definitions of serious health conditions are likely. Employers say the broad range of conditions covered by intermittent leave has led to a huge rise in absences, often taken with little or no notice. Unions and other worker groups are sure to fight any changes in the FMLA. But the White House wants to make revisions before Bush leaves office.
