Update to the 2009 Regulatory Plan Narrative - FMLA
-
The Wage and Hour Division will initiate rulemaking to implement the new
amendments to the military family leave provisions of the Family and Medical
Leave Act (FMLA) contained in the National Defense Authorization Act for FY 2010.
The Wage and Hour Division will also review implementation of the military family
leave amendments that were included in the National Defense Authorization Act for FY 2008,
as well as other provisions of the FMLA regulations that were revised and
implemented in January 2009. This regulatory initiative assists in achieving the
Secretary’s goal of workplace flexibility for family and personal care-giving and,
particularly through the job protection and the maintenance of health benefits provisions,
helps middle-class families remain in the middle class.
