Family and Medical Leave Act Guide

Since its passage in 1993, the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) has raised countless questions for employers faced with family and medical leave requests from employees. This software guide puts the entire FMLA statute, all of the FMLA regulations, and much of the administrative guidance from the U.S. Department of Labor at the employer's fingertips.

Written by William T. (Tommy) Simmons, former senior legal counsel to TEC/TWC Employer Commissioners Mary Scott Nabers, Jim Kaster, Bill Hammond, and Ron Lehman, the software contains valuable information covering every aspect of the FMLA. It covers the rights and obligations of both employers and employees under that little-understood law.

The software contains a wealth of commentary to help employers understand the requirements of the FMLA. It also contains much information on how the FMLA is related to, and influenced by, the nation's basic wage and hour law, the Fair Labor Standards Act, as well as other laws such as the Americans with Disabilities Act and state workers' compensation laws. Those experienced with FMLA questions will find this software to be a valuable timesaver, since the entire text of the FMLA and its accompanying regulations is contained within the program, cross-linked and easily navigable with only a mouse. With just a few clicks of a mouse button, the user can go from commentary to statute, from statute to regulation, to other regulations, back to the statute, and back to the commentary. Easy navigation features built into the software make it simple to go from topic to topic, statute to statute, regulation to regulation, and to retrace one's steps if needed.
