Getting The Family And Medical Leave Time You Deserve

The California Family Rights Act and the federal Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) require many employers to grant unpaid leave to an employee after the birth of a child, the arrival of an adopted child, to care for a sick relative or when the employee is ill.

These laws apply to private and public employers with 50 or more employees. Any employer covered under state or federal law must grant unpaid leave of up to 12 weeks annually to eligible employees in these situations.

Some employers refuse to grant this leave. Others find ways to penalize the employee, such as reassignment to less desirable job responsibilities after the employee returns to work. These can be violations of the law.

If you have suffered discrimination of this type, you may be entitled to compensation for your financial losses. And by taking action, you can help stop violations of these laws.
