Effective January 16, 2009, the final regulations implementing the Family and Medical Leave Act of 1993 (FMLA) put in motion significant changes to the manner in which employers administer their FMLA policies, including the form and content of employer notice obligations.
The final regulations create four separate employer notice obligations: General Notice, Eligibility Notice, Rights and Responsibilities Notice and Designation Notice as well as some employer-friendly changes. Revising your organization's FMLA and related policies is critical to ensuring that your organization takes advantage of these changes. This article focuses on the FMLA's General Notice requirements.
