Starting Jan. 16, there will be new, final revisions to the regs for the Family and Medical Leave Act. The new regs cover several key areas, including:

• An expansion for military families
• Clarification of when professional employer organizations (PEOs) are joint employers along with their client companies
• Expanded explanation of employee eligibility when there is a break in service
• Substitution of paid leave
• Calculating short-term FMLA leave when a holiday falls during a partial week of leave, and
• When required overtime can be counted against FMLA entitlements.

You can see all the details for the new rules here.
