Get compensation and protect your rights: legal assistance when FMLA leave is denied
When your employer denies you your legal right to FMLA (Family and Medical Leave Act) leave, you have the right to file a legal complaint and seek compensation for the violation. Our team of lawyers specializes in protecting employees in such situations and will help you get justice.
What is an FMLA violation and when do you need legal help?
The FMLA guarantees employees up to 12 weeks of unpaid leave to treat themselves or care for a close family member without risk of losing their job. If your employer
- denies you leave,
involuntarily terminates you after you use it,
or takes other retaliatory action,
it may be illegal. Contacting a lawyer will help you quickly and correctly determine whether a violation has occurred and what steps you should take to protect your rights.
Reasons for Unlawful FMLA Leave Denials
Employers often violate your rights due to:
- Misinterpretation of the law or company policies,
- Attempts to avoid payouts or compensation,
- Retaliation against an employee for using FMLA,
- Failure to provide written notices or explanations for denials.
We help you quickly gather evidence and confirm violations to successfully defend your rights.
