Alert: New FMLA Notice Must Be Posted by March 8, 2013

As you may recall, the FMLA was amended in 2008 and 2010 to provide certain protections to military families and airline flight crews.  The U.S. Department of Labor has issued a Final Rule on these amendments that will take effect on March 8, 2013.  As a result of these changes, employers are required to post a new version of the FMLA notice poster.  Covered employers are required to post this new version of the FMLA notice by March 8, 2013.  The poster may be accessed at the following link:
