Blawg100HonoreeBadgeMy dear blog readers:

I am delighted to announce that our FMLA Insights blog has been selected for the fifth consecutive year as one of the Top 100 Legal Blogs of 2015 by the ABA Journal! In its 9th Annual ABA Journal Blawg 100, we were only one of six employment blogs to receive the honor.

I am honored and humbled by the many attorneys, HR and leave professionals and other friends of the blog who nominated our blog for this honor. In this week of all weeks, I am so thankful for your support of my little FMLA blog. Thousands subscribe to the blog, and tens of thousands more visit our site every month. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

Congrats to the other employment blogs who made the list – they are worth the read:  Eric Meyer’s The Employer Handbook, Robin Shea’s Employer and Labor Insider, and Donna Ballman’s Screw You Guys, I’m Going Home,  A hearty congratulations to my friend Jon Hyman, whose Ohio Employer’s Law Blog, was voted into the blogging Hall of Fame this year!

Much to be thankful for this year.  Happy Thanksgiving!
