FAQs

FAQ Icon FAQ Icon
What are common signs of FMLA retaliation or violations?

Common signs include having your leave denied, retaliation for taking approved leave, being denied promotions or transfers after returning from leave, forced resignation, pay cuts without cause, and being transferred to a less desirable location or shift. If you've faced any negative action after requesting or taking FMLA leave, you may have a valid legal claim.

What does the Family Medical Leave Act (FMLA) protect?

The FMLA provides eligible employees with up to 12 weeks of job-protected, unpaid leave per year for qualifying medical or family reasons, including a serious health condition, caring for a family member with a serious health condition, or bonding with a new child. Employers are required to honor your right to take this leave and restore you to the same or equivalent position when you return.

What should I do if my employer violated my FMLA rights?

If you believe your employer violated your FMLA rights, document all incidents including leave requests, denial communications, and any adverse employment actions taken against you. Keep records of emails, texts, and HR communications. Then contact an FMLA lawyer for a free case review to evaluate your legal options and next steps.
