The U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) has published a final rule to amend the Family and Medical Leave Act effective March 8, 2013. Military family members can now take leave to care for a covered veteran who is seriously ill or injured and take additional time (up to 15 days of leave) to be with a service member who is on leave from active duty.
The FMLA protects the jobs of family members who must take leave to attend funeral services for fallen service men and women.
