The U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) updated the Federal Labor Law Poster to include the Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act (GINA), and updates to the Family Medical Leave Act (FMLA) statute. Those updates include military service member provisions and clarify definitions of serious health conditions.
