Family Medical Leave Act Discrimination
The Family & Medical Leave Act (“FMLA”) requires that certain employers provide their employees with up to twelve weeks of unpaid leave to care for their own serious health conditions or those of their children, spouses, or parents.

If you come back from a protected leave to find that your job has significantly changed or to a supervisor who suddenly feels you can do no right, you may have claims and we can help you determine the best course of action.
