 AB    The Labor Department issued its final regulations to clarify the
       interplay between the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) of 1993 and
       the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) of 1990. The regulations
       clarify leaves of absences, the employee's rights to return to work
       after a leave, and confidentiality of medical records. Other ADA-related
       aspects of the FMLA regulations state that when an employer violates
       both the FMLA and ADA, an employee may be able to recover under either
       or both statutes but may not be awarded double relief for the same loss;
       and FMLA does not modify or affect any law prohibiting discrimination on
       the basis of disability, as does the ADA. Final FMLA regulations become
       effective April 6, 1995. A comparative list of ADA and FMLA laws is
       provided. More information can be obtained by consulting the Federal
       Register for Jan 6.
