Connecticut Administrative Code
Title 31 - Labor
51qq - The Family and Medical Leave Act
Section 31-51qq-2 - What employers are covered by the act?
Current through December 12, 2024
(a) "Employer" is defined in section 31-51qq-1(h) of the Regulations of Connecticut State Agencies.
(b) Normally, the legal entity which employs the employee is the employer under FMLA. Applying this principle, a corporation is a single employer rather than its separate establishments or division.
(c) An "employer" includes any person who acts directly or indirectly in the interest of an employer to any of the employer's employees. The definition of "employer" in the FLSA, 29 USC 203(d), similarly includes any person acting directly or indirectly in the interest of an employer in relation to an employee. As under the FLSA, individuals such as corporate officers "acting in the interest of an employer" are individually liable for any violations of the requirements of the FMLA.
