New Federal Developments
Marijuana has been downgraded to a Schedule III drug, but that still does not make it okay to use in the workplace.
DOL has been directed to update/revise ERISA regulations to clarify the fiduciary status for those managing or advising on proxy voting and to strengthen fiduciary standards for retirement plans.
In response to questions, DOL has stated that when calculating FMLA leave during holiday weeks, if the employee takes a full week of leave, the entire week counts against their FMLA entitlement, regardless of holidays. However, if they take leave in increments of less than a week, holidays do not count against their FMLA leave unless they were scheduled to work on that holiday.
