Recent changes to the Family and Medical Leave Act prompted Liberty Mutual to create a site specifically designed to help brokers and employers understand the revised Act.

"Consolidating information in a single location gives brokers and employers a fast and easy way to understand these changes and will help them in their compliance efforts," notes Joanne Archer, who oversees the area of Liberty Mutual that manages family medical leave for more than 700,000 employees of Liberty Mutual policyholders. "And these changes are dramatic. The updated federal regulation alone launches new types of leave, alters long held definitions and adds many new requirements for employers and employees."

The site, www.libertymutualgroup.com/fml, provides information on two major changes to the FMLA; the Family and Medical Leave Act Final Rule, which became effective Jan. 16, and the New Jersey paid leave program, which became effective Jan. 1.
