The FMLA Compendium is a comprehensive guide for complying with the Family and Medical Leave Act As Amended 2011-2012.

Court Interpretations alter our understanding of the law. Often the FMLA is amended. Many times its complex terminology and acompanying requirements are re-interpreted and revised. Sometimes these changes are made by the Courts, sometimes by the Congress, and sometimes by Bureaucrats. No matter what the source of these changes, what we know for certain is.. the FMLA does change and we have to comply with the law, changes and all.
