Arizona FMLA Changes

March 5th, 2008 Posted by Amelia

The Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) will undergo several changes on or about April 11, 2008 that concern all Arizona employers. These changes were proposed on February 11, 2008, by the U. S. Department of Labor. During the interim, employers can review the changes and make comments on them.

The U. S. Department of Labor is accepting comments online until April. All comments posted on the website are viewable to the public, so employers need to be aware of the content of their post.

To add a comment, click this link and type in “Family and Medical Leave Act”. Be sure to put quotes around the keywords.

The new FMLA will amend how paid leave is used while on FMLA leave in Arizona. The term “substitution of paid leave” refers to an employee using paid time off as past of FMLA leave. Currently, employees can use their paid sick leave. Under the new regulations, workers will also be able to use accrued personal leave and accrued vacation time.

For example, Betty has developed a long term illness and needs to take time off. Currently she has 2 weeks of sick leave, 3 weeks of personal leave and 5 weeks of vacation time for a total of 10 weeks of PTO. When the new FMLA goes into effect, she can use all ten weeks of PTO and only two weeks of FMLA will be unpaid leave.

Until the new regulations go into effect, however, Betty could only use her two weeks of sick time toward FMLA. The rest – 10 weeks of FMLA — would be unpaid.

The new regulations will also require FMLA leave to be counted toward an employee’s absences. Prior to the changes, employees on FMLA weren’t considered “absent”. This policy meant that even when an employee took off 12 weeks for FMLA, he or she was still eligible for “perfect attendance” bonuses and awards. Coworkers and supervisors complained that the policy was unfair to other workers.

One change to the regulations corrects what many saw as an injustice under the old plan. Although workers on FMLA leave continue to accrue seniority, they will no longer be eligible for “perfect attendance” rewards.

The FMLA (Family and Medical Leave Act) provides workers with up to 12 weeks of job-protected, unpaid leave to care for themselves or a family member (child, spouse or parent) with a “serious medical condition.”

Recently the U. S. Department of Labor proposed changes to the FMLA, several of which focused on the definition of “serious medical condition” and the process of obtaining its certification.

The FMLA regulations include several ways to classify a “serious medical condition”. The new regulations will keep six of the definitions and clarify a couple of terms. One definition requires the employee to be incapacitated for three consecutive days and visit the healthcare provider two times. “Two times,” however was not defined as any specific time period. Under the new regulations, the U. S. Department of Labor will define “two visits to a healthcare provider” as two times within 30 days of the incapacitation.

Certification of the “serious medical condition” by a healthcare provider is usually required. The U. S. Department of Labor permits employers to do this to deter abuse of the leave. The employer can also require a second or even third opinion, but is responsible for paying for those visits.

In addition to “serious medical condition” the new regulations include changes regarding the employee’s right to settle FMLA suits out of court, the certification process of “fitness-for-duty” and the substitution of paid leave for qualified employees.

Victoria Lipnic of the U. S. Department of Labor made the following statement. “This proposal is the result of a thoughtful, careful process that included a Request for Information with 15,000 public comments in 2006, many conversations with stakeholders, and the department’s experience in administering and enforcing the law.”

Though the regulations were proposed on February 11, 2008, they do not go into effect until April 11, 2008. Until that time, employers have the opportunity to review the changes and post comments on them.

Once the new regulations are published, they become law, and all employers are required to comply.

Arizona Cold Stress

March 5th, 2008 Posted by Amelia

Recently, tornados in the south have spurred new OSHA warnings about the hazards that utility workers, emergency responders and others face in cold weather in Arizona.

OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Administration) is warning all businesses, including those in Arizona, that cold, wet or windy weather conditions can be dangerous for employees.

Even if the temperature is a mild 50 degrees, an employee can suffer from cold related injuries and illnesses. The body can get too cold, become unable to warm itself and suffer cold stress, frostbite and hypothermia.

Employees who work outdoors are at a particularly high risk, but any worker can be susceptible to these illnesses during the winter months.

Cold stress is a less severe form of hypothermia, but in severe cases it can be fatal. Cold stress occurs when a person is exposed to cold and has difficulty getting warm. The colder the temperature, the harder the body works to generate heat. The internal organs are the first priority for the body’s heat generator, which means more and more blood is drawn from the extremities. Ears, the nose, hands, feet, arms and legs lose a great deal of warmth and become extremely susceptible to frostbite.

Some workers may be at a higher risk for cold stress due to age and/or medications. Older bodies warm themselves less efficiently. Medications such as antidepressants, sedatives and tranquilizers can affect body warming as well. These employees need to be aware of these factors and act accordingly.

The hazards of cold weather can be reduced by simply following a few safety procedures. First, all employees should wear appropriate clothing for the weather conditions. Dress in layers to adjust to changes in temperature. Avoid getting wet, especially when it’s windy.

Second, drink warm beverages like broth, but avoid caffeinated or alcoholic drinks. Caffeine and alcohol impair the body’s warming capabilities. Meals that are warm and rich in carbohydrates are also recommended.

Third: employees should take frequent breaks from the cold and go indoors, into a heated vehicle, or somewhere out of the wind.

Arizona Cold OSHA Warning

The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) reminds employers to establish safety protocols for working in cold temperatures. Employees who work in freezers and those who work outdoors are particularly susceptible to cold weather hazards such as hypothermia and Trench Foot.

While working in cold temperatures, employees will need frequent breaks out of the cold in a warm vehicle or heated shelter. Workers should always keep dry clothes in a warm area as well, in case their work clothes get wet.

Dressing for the job is the most important safety measure. Three layers are recommended by OSHA, with cotton as the innermost to provide ventilation. Wool or down should be worn as the middle layer. The outer layer should be nylon or Gortex.

The type of fabric is extremely important. Nylon and Gortex reduce the effects of wind on the body. Wool maintains its ability to insulate even when entirely wet. As a middle layer it provides warmth while absorbing sweat. Cotton doesn’t insulate when it’s wet, so wearing it close to the body allows ventilation.

Proper clothing includes proper footwear and headgear. Boots are a good choice and if working in wet conditions, the boots should be waterproof. Hats should always be worn. An uncovered head can lose as much as 40 degrees of body heat.

Employers should encourage all employees to drink plenty of fluids, as dehydration is possible even in extreme cold. Alcohol and caffeine should be avoided as they interfere with the body’s heating system. Workers should also be encouraged to eat warm food, like pasta, that is high in calories.

Employees need to be aware of how they react to the cold, plus that smoking cigarettes and some prescription medicines can impair how they handle cold weather. Employees should also work in pairs to watch each other for signs of cold stress, including irrational behavior, confusion and disorientation.

All employees, including supervisors and managers, should be trained to recognize these symptoms, and to get the affected worker to a warm area, or to emergency medical help, whichever is needed.
