It is anticipated that the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) will publish revisions to the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) in March 2005.  This follows their release in February 24, 2004 for comments on FMLA.  FMLA is a federal law that requires covered employers to grant eligible employees up to 12 weeks of leave to address medical problems affecting the employees or certain family members. The DOL has proposed rule changes because of the impact of the U.S. Supreme Court ruling in Ragsdale vs Wolverine Worldwide Inc.  The DOL has not stated what revisions will be proposed.
