The District of Columbia’s Family and Medical Leave Act (DCFMLA) entitles District government employees and eligible employees of private employers up to 16 work weeks of medical leave and 16 work weeks of family leave for a qualifying event.  The Act also provides employees some job protections when utilizing FMLA-designated leave. Although the revised regulations incorporate some of the language provided by the Department of Labor (DOL) in its FMLA regulations, it also provides additional guidance to District of Columbia government agencies.

OHR is also partnering with DCHR’s Workforce Development Administration to provide EEO & Diversity and Sexual Harassment training to District employees. You must sign up online through the People Soft program. If you have questions, please contact DCHR.   The schedule for the EEO & Diversity and Sexual Harassment trainings is provided below:
