Many workers find themselves in need of long term time off from work for health reasons. A prime example can be in the case of pregnancy. Being pregnant and having to work at the same time or lose your job can be a difficult choice for many families. The good news is that the Federal Law allows for extended time off from your job for serious health issues.
The Family Medical Leave Act or FMLA allows eligible employees to take up to 12 weeks of leave from work in any 12 month period for treatment of a serious health condition. The FMLA also protects employees who take FMLA leave from retaliation for doing so.
The lawyers at LaBar Adams have helped numerous individuals recover monetary damages for violation of the FMLA. Such damages have included wages, salary, employment benefits, other compensation denied, and actual monetary loss sustained as a direct result of the employer's FMLA violation. Through helping these individuals the lawyers at LaBar Adams have been directly confronted with the worst that employees must endure from their employers.
If your FMLA rights have been violated, please contact a lawyer at LaBar Adams for a free consultation.
