The U.S. Department of Labor’s (DOL) Employee Benefits Security Administration’s participant fee disclosure rule goes into effect on August 30, 2012.

The Department of Labor (DOL) recently announced a proposed rule that would implement amendments to the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA). The rule would affect the FMLA in two ways: expanding the leave entitlement for military caregivers and creating special eligibility provisions for airline flight crew employees. 

The U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) announced that it has delayed the filing deadline for Vets-100/Vets-100A reporting forms for the 2011 cycle to January 15, 2012. The filing deadline was set for today.

“All paper reports and electronic files received at the Service Desk by January 15th will be included as part of the 2011 filing cycle and will not be considered late,” the DOL announced in a statement.

Federal contractors use the VETS-100/VETS-100A reporting forms to detail the number of protected veteran employees and new hires in their workforce. Regulations require contractors to submit this form by September 30 of each year. Technical issues have delayed the reporting requirement this year.
