On June 22, the DOL Wage and Hour Division released an Administrator’s Interpretation on clarification of the definition of “son or daughter” under the Family and Medical Leave Act as it applies to an employee standing “in loco parentis” to a child.  The DOL press release states ” This action is a victory for many non-traditional families, including families in the lesbian-gay-bisexual-transgender community, who often in the past have been denied leave to care for their loved ones.”  DOL Secretary Hilda Solis stated “The Labor Department’s action today sends a clear message to workers and employers alike: All families, including LGBT families, are protected by the FMLA.”  Link to the DOL press release is here.  Link to the interpretation is here.
