The Employment and Labor Group at Metz Lewis Brodman Must O’Keefe LLC wishes to alert employers covered by the Family and Medical Leave Act of an important recent amendment to the FMLA.
On January 28, 2008, without much fanfare or advance notice, President Bush signed into law what is essentially the first amendment to the FMLA in the fifteen years since it went into effect. This law, known as the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2008 (“NDAA”) (H.R. 4986), amends the FMLA to provide two new types of FMLA leave to employees with family members serving in the military.
