The Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals recently reiterated that an employee's sudden behavioral change and unusual behavior may constitute "constructive notice" to the employer that the employee needs a Family Medical Leave Act ("FMLA")-covered mental health leave. The court's decision in Stevenson v. Hyre Electric Co. should serve as a reminder to employers that an employee may be deemed to have given notice of a serious health condition based solely on behavior the employer has observed, even if she has not provided the FMLA-documentation normally required by the company. New California Laws Impose Tax Credit Notice Requirement and Allow for Leave for Military Spouses Two laws recently signed by Governor Schwarzenegger impose new requirements on companies that have employees in California. AB 392 provides for up to 10 days of unpaid leave for an employee whose spouse is on leave from deployment. AB 650 requires employers to notify employees that they may be eligible for the federal Earned Income Tax Credit ("EITC"). Recent Alerts October 10 , 2007
