DUBLIN--(Business Wire)--
Research and Markets
(http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/156297/fmla_in_2009_new) has
announced the addition of the "FMLA in 2009: New Pitfalls and New Powers" 13 to
their offering.

The new rules drastically change the way much of the FMLA works. Some changes
favor employers by offering greater flexibility in administering leave. But it's
imperative that HR professionals move quickly to update their policies so they
don't inadvertently violate the law." -- Matthew Effland, Esq.

For the past 15 years, complying with the FMLA has been complex, but at least
the law (once you figured it out) stayed the same.

On January 16th, that all changed.

That's the day the first major overhaul of the FMLA kicked in. So you need to
have made important changes to your FMLA policies and practices to stay in
compliance - and out of court.

More than a dozen changes to the FMLA affect everything from military-leave
rules to notice obligations to certification procedures.

The good news is: organizations like yours have been handed new powers if you
know how to tiptoe between the landmines.
