3 recent FMLA lawsuits that employers need to be familiar with SUBSCRIBE The Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) has been in the news quite a bit recently due to its close ties to ongoing COVID relief. With constantly changing rules and regulations coming out of Washington, it’s hard to know what is and isn’t ok. After all, FMLA wasn’t simple before COVID and it’s even less so now. Despite this, ignorance is not a sound legal defense and employers need to stay up to date on current rulings. Otherwise, they could find themselves on the wrong side of an FMLA lawsuit, even if their actions were well-intentioned.
