DOL Unveils New FMLA Poster and Forms
Here's the new FMLA poster that the U.S. Department of Labor unveiled today to conform to the new FMLA regulations that go into effect on January 16, 2009.
Every employer covered by the FMLA is required to post on its premises, in a conspicuous location, a notice explaining the FMLA's provisions.
DOL has also revised its Certification of Health Care Provider form (WH-380), and divided it into two separate forms for an Employee’s Serious Health Condition (WH-380E) and a Family Member’s Serious Health Condition (WH-380F).
DOL has also revised its Notice of Eligibility and Rights and Responsibilities form (WH-381).
In addition, the DOL has added new forms for Designation Notice to Employee of FMLA Leave (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).
