1/27/2008: Labor Department Proposes Regulations To Address Concerns About Family Medical Leave Act Abuses (Kaiser Family Foundation)
Excerpt: "The proposed regulations would require employees to request FMLA leave in advance. Currently, employees in most cases can miss work for two days before they must request FMLA leave. Victoria Lipnic, assistant labor secretary for employment standards at DOL, said the proposed regulations would not limit the definition of serious health conditions under FMLA, as some employers have proposed. She said that DOL lacks the authority to limit the definition."
