FMLA for employees working out of USA

[Francis]

Does anyone know if FLMA is required for employees working outside of the US but for a US based employer? In some cases the overseas workers are US citizens and in other cases they are not US citizens but have US work visas.

It appears that DOL may have a 75 mile requirement and these employees are located much more than 75 miles away from any employer office employing more than 50 people.

Any idea if FMLA is required? Thank you.
