The Family and Medical Leave Act of 1993; Deferral of Effective
Date of Regulations
AGENCY: Wage and Hour Division, Labor.
ACTION: Deferral of effective date of regulations.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This document defers the effective date, from February 6,
1995, to April 6, 1995, of Labor Department regulations implementing
the Family and Medical Leave Act of 1993, 29 CFR Part 825, which were
published in the Federal Register Friday, January 6, 1995 (60 FR 2180).
This action is taken in order to provide the public additional time to
implement the final regulations, including, where appropriate, to
revise policies and procedures.
EFFECTIVE DATE: This document is effective February 3, 1995. The
effective date of the final Family and Medical Leave Act regulations
published in the Federal Register on January 6, 1995 (60 FR 2180), is
hereby deferred until April 6, 1995.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
J. Dean Speer, Division of Policy and Analysis, Wage and Hour Division,
Employment Standards Administration, U.S. Department of Labor, Room S-
3506, 200 Constitution Avenue NW., Washington, DC 20210; telephone
(202) 219-8412. This is not a toll-free number.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Final regulations implementing the Family
and Medical Leave Act of 1993 (FMLA), 29 U.S.C. 2601 et seq., were
published in the Federal Register on January 6, 1995, with an effective
date of February 6, 1995 (see 60 FR 2180). In response to requests that
the Department of Labor provide additional time to enable employers and
other members of the public to comply with their new responsibilities
and to implement revised policies and procedures consistent with the
final regulations, the Department is deferring, from February 6, 1995,
until April 6, 1995, the effective date of the final Family and Medical
Leave Act regulations published on January 6, 1995.
Because these rules are scheduled to become effective very shortly,
notice and public comment on this change of effective date is
impracticable, unnecessary and contrary to the public interest, and
good cause exists for making this deferral effective immediately.
