DOL ISSUES FMLA GUIDANCE ON CARING FOR ADULT CHILDREN

FMLA is available to care for adult children over 18 or older if the child is physically or mentally disabled.  The Dept. of Labor has just issued guidance on how that works that all union reps should at least read once.  DOL does not regulate federal sector FMLA matters; OPM does.  But DOL guidance can heavily influence a federal employee’s rights.
