Family and Medical Leave Act Compliance Manual

By Scott D. Macdonald

This Compliance Manual is intended to provide a detailed explanation of the Family and Medical Leave Act of 1993, as amended, with an emphasis on its application to public and private elementary and secondary school systems. 

The Manual describes the statutory and regulatory requirements to enable individuals who have a role in managing FMLA leaves to find answers to common—and not so common—questions related to FMLA administration. It is designed to serve as a comprehensive resource tool and reference guide to ensure that the school district complies with all of its obligations under the FMLA by implementing policies and procedures to minimize the risk of violating employees’ FMLA rights and exposing the school district (and school officials) to costly and time-consuming litigation or U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) investigations.
