- Abstract
The U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) has issued final regulations under the Family and Medical Leave Act of 1993 (FMLA). The DOL sought comments on 1993 interim final regulations from their release date on June 4 until December 3, 1993. As a result of comments from employers, trade and professional associations, unions and other interested parties, the DOL has made a number of changes to the FMLA rules as that law relates to human resources responsibilities and employee benefits. The new final regulations were effective April 6, 1995. This article focuses on the FMLA changes to employee benefits rules as they relate to health benefits, nonhealth benefits, fringe benefits and conditions of employment, and pension plans. FMLA, effective August 5, 1993, generally entitles an "eligible employee" to take up to a total of 12 weeks of unpaid leave during any 12-month period for the birth of a child and to care for such child, for adoption or foster care, to care for a spouse or an immediate family member with a serious health condition, or when the employee is unable to work due to a serious health condition.
