New Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) Poster Required as of March 8, 2013
All covered employers are required to display and keep displayed a poster prepared by the Department of Labor summarizing the major provisions of The Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) and telling employees how to file a complaint. The poster must be displayed in a conspicuous place where employees and applicants for employment can see it. A poster must be displayed at all locations even if there are no eligible employees.
There are several changes to the FMLA regulations included in the Final Rule (February 6, 2013), including military caregiver leave for a veteran, qualifying exigency leave for parental care, and the special leave calculation method for flight crew employees. These new regulations are effective March 8, 2013; thus the requirement for the new FMLA poster.
