DOL: FMLA covers parent meeting to discuss child's IEP

Not official use.

Quick post today. In a new opinion letter, the U.S. Department of Labor Wage and Hour Division addressed a parents need "to attend a Committee on Special Education (CSE) meeting to discuss the Individualized Education Program (IEP) of the employee’s" child.

The "need to attend CSE/IEP meetings addressing the educational and special medical needs of your children—who have serious health conditions as certified by a health care provider—is a qualifying reason for taking intermittent FMLA leave."

The end. Told you it was quick.
