F.M.L.A changes

The Department of Labor released revised final regulations under the FMLA, which will take effect January 19, 2009. The DOL's webpage on the new regs can be found here:

The changes seem to offer important clarifications, make leave practices and requirements more uniform, and expand employee rights only in the context of servicemembers. There's lots of good background info on the DOL's webpage, so check it out.
