The Department of Labor has posted on its website its updated poster incorporating the recent military family leave amendments and other changes to the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA), as reflected in the recently-published final FMLA rule. Employers covered by the FMLA are required to post notice of an employee’s FMLA rights in a conspicuous area in the workplace.
The DOL has also posted a number of new and revised optional FMLA forms. These forms include the FMLA Certification of Health Care Provider for Employee's Serious Health Condition (WH-380E); FMLA Certification of Health Care Provider for Family Member's Serious Health Condition (WH-380F); FMLA Notice of Eligibility and Rights and Responsibilities (WH-381); FMLA Designation Notice (WH-382); Certification of Qualifying Exigency For Military Family Leave (WH-384); and Certification for Serious Injury or Illness of Covered Servicemember for Military Family Leave (WH-385).
These forms expire on December 31, 2011.
