The U.S. Department of Labor’s (DOL) Wage and Hour Division (WHD) has updated its “COVID-19 and the Family and Medical Leave Act Questions and Answers” web page, originally published in 2020.
As before, the Q&As explain that—under the FMLA—
covered employers must provide eligible employees with job-protected, unpaid leave for specified
family and medical reasons. Additionally, employees on FMLA leave are entitled to the
continuation of group health insurance coverage under the same terms that were in effect before they took leave.
