Philadelphia Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) Lawyers
Common FMLA Violations
The FMLA establishes important protections for eligible employees, but those protections are not always honored. When an employer fails to comply with the law, employees have the right to pursue legal action. Common violations include:
- Denying qualifying leave
- Interfering with an employee’s ability to take leave
- Failing to reinstate an employee after approved leave
- Retaliating against employees for requesting or taking FMLA leave
- Misclassifying employees as ineligible for leave
If you believe your employer violated your FMLA rights, our experienced employment lawyers can evaluate your situation and advise you of your legal options.
FMLA Retaliation
The FMLA not only protects your right to qualifying leave, but also protects you from retaliation for exercising that right. If your employer terminated, demoted, disciplined, reduced your hours, or otherwise took adverse action after you requested or used FMLA leave, you may have a claim.
