FMLA
Law Update - Urgent! (March
18, 2008)
As of January 28, a Military Family Leave Act was implemented under the National Defense Authorization Act. Please review and post the NDAA notice immediately. NDAA includes:
- Military leave for a qualifying exigency-whereby an immediate military need has been declared-(clarity on the meaning of "exigency" is forthcoming)
- Military injury caregiver leave for 26 weeks
ANY requests for these types need to be directed to Alicia Bailey (bailey@hr.msu.edu), in Human Resource Records.
Also, new “proposed” FMLA regulations (separate from NDAA) were received on February 11, 2008. Click here for a complete listing of the new “proposed” FMLA regulations.
Comments and questions by employers will be taken by the Department of
Labor through April 11, 2008 on the new "proposed" regulations.
Once the “proposed” regulations have been finalized, HR will
notify the university community of any changes to our current policies
and procedures.
MSU Letterhead after Proposal 2 - MSU stationery and other university documents should be adjusted to state that “MSU is an affirmative-action, equal-opportunity employer.” This statement reflects the university’s obligation as a federal contractor to advertise that all qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, ethnicity, color, religion, sex, or national origin.
