You are going to develop a
compliance policy covering the FMLA, ERISA and employee’s right to privacy for
the Beta Technology compliance policy manual. Use the Argosy University online
library resources and US government Web sites to research the FMLA, ERISA and
employee privacy and locate the text of the applicable provisions.

Write the compliance manual
sections, including the following:

1. FMLA

• Summarize the main legal
  requirements related to the FMLA in no more than one page.
• Provide guidelines for employees
  to follow for requesting leave, including notice requirements,
  certification, benefits, and returning to work.

ERISA

• Summarize the main points of
  ERISA in no more than a page.
• Explain the important
  amendments, including the following, in a paragraph each:
• Consolidated Omnibus Budget
  Reconciliation Act (COBRA)
• Health Insurance Portability
  and Accountability Act (HIPAA)
• Newborns’ and Mothers’ Health
  Protection Act
• The Mental Health Parity Act
• The Women’s Health and Cancer
  Rights Act
• Explain consequences of
  violations.
• Discuss the implications of the
  law for employee privacy.

Note: The discussion of
privacy under ERISA is separate from other privacy issues covered in Part 3.

1. Employee Privacy

• Explain Beta’s policy for
  privacy related to employee records, work areas and equipment,
  electronic monitoring and off-work activities.
• Use statutes, regulations, case
  law, and examples to explain the legal provisions.
• Be sure to use scholarly
  references and primary legal resources (the actual text of the law) to
  construct this policy.

Write a 6–7-page section of the
compliance manual in Word format. Apply APA standards to citation of
sources.
