Text of DOL Final Reg: Definition of Spouse under the Family and Medical Leave Act
Wage and Hour Division, U.S. Department of Labor [DOL] [Official Guidance] Feb. 23, 2015 "The Department is moving from a state of residence rule to a rule based on the jurisdiction where the marriage was entered into (place of celebration) to ensure that all legally married couples, whether opposite-sex or same-sex, will have consistent federal family leave rights regardless of where they live.... A place of celebration rule provides consistent federal family leave rights for legally married couples regardless of the State in which they reside, thus reducing barriers to the mobility of employees in same-sex marriages in the labor market and ensuring employees in same-sex marriages will be able to exercise their FMLA leave rights. Moreover, such a rule also reduces the administrative burden on employers that operate in more than one State, or that have employees who move between States with different marriage recognition rules; such employers will not have to consider the employee's state of residence and the laws of that State in determining the employee's eligibility for FMLA leave." |
