My fellow gentlemen:
On this Valentine’s Day, I just saved your behind.
Leave the dozen roses and box of chocolates at the office. And no need to make a reservation at your favorite restaurant for two.
This year, give your significant other the gift that keeps on giving: the American Bar Association’s annual report of every FMLA decision from 2017. If this won’t spice up your Valentine’s evening, I am confident nothing will.
Every February, the ABA’s Federal Labor Standards Legislation Committee publishes a comprehensive report of FMLA decisions handed down by the federal courts in the previous year. Although our little FMLA blog catches some of the key FMLA cases as they occur throughout the year, the ABA’s annual report includes every FMLA decision issued in 2017.
Every. single. one. of. them.
This year’s report was just released and can be accessed here (pdf). I highly recommend it as a valuable FMLA resource for HR professionals and employment attorneys. All the credit goes to Maria Audero, who spearheads the annual summary.
Happy reading!
