While dated, the survey highlights confusion surrounding FMLA regulations that is still prevalent. It underlines the need for clearer rules within the Act while making it imperative that employers provide efficient and accurate training for managers enforcing these regulations.

In a recent survey by the Association of Corporate Counsel (ACC), a global bar association representing more than 30,000 in-house counsel, chief legal officers (CLO) took an unbiased look at their top concerns for the past, present and the future, along with a prioritization of their business issues. About 1,100 CLOs from 36 countries participated in the survey, the largest global survey of CLOs.
Not surprisingly, building a foundation supported by a strong ethics and compliance program ranked highest among the top issues facing CLOs, followed by the issue of regulatory or governmental changes. These two issues rated high in terms of importance — both in the past 12 months and for the next 12 months.

Five Trends Create Roadmap for Employer Compliance in 2013
The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) just released its FY 2012 charge numbers, and—for the third straight year—charges of employment discrimination reached nearly 100,000. These figures represent the highest numbers the agency has seen in its 47-year history.
There was a slight decline this past year, but it’s a small—I’d say negligible—decrease over last year’s numbers.
FY 2010: 99,922
FY 2011: 99,947
FY 2012: 99,412
