Main Volume Information

Thorough and accurate guidance on the issues practitioners must face in complying with the FMLA

The Family and Medical Leave Act is the paradigm of support in handling all aspects of the FMLA, including interrelationships with other laws. This thorough treatise focuses on the responsibilities of employees and employers under the Act, as reflected in the statute, regulations, and case law, including:

• Provisions of the Family and Medical Leave Act 
• Regulations promulgated by the Department of Labor (DOL) 
• How DOL opinion letters have interpreted FMLA provisions 
• Case law under the FMLA 
• How FMLA leave rights are coordinated with other legal rights of employees 

Appendices include the statute and DOL Final Regulations—the two critical documents that must be understood by practitioners—and comprehensive guides to the more than 120 FMLA opinion letters issued by the DOL, listed by topic, by section of the Act and/or regulations, and chronologically. Plus, you’ll find summaries of the numerous state leave laws.
