Representing Clients Who Have Been Denied Necessary Time Off
Under the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) and the California Family Rights Act (CFRA), most categories of employees are entitled to take up to 12 unpaid weeks of leave during a given 12-month timeframe for reasons such as:
- Giving birth to a child and caring for a newborn child within one year of birth
- Caring for an adopted or foster child within one year of placement
- Caring for a child, spouse or parent who has a serious health problem or condition
- Personally dealing with a serious health condition that inhibits the employee from performing the basic functions of his or her job
The FMLA also requires that special types of leave be made available to the parents, spouses and children of qualifying military service members.
At the law firm of Adams | Nye | Becht LLP, we have helped many clients assert their rights to FMLA and CFRA leave and pursue claims for retaliation after they have requested leave. If you or a loved one would like more information about how we can help you protect your rights to necessary time away from work, contact our office today.
Bay Area Pregnancy Discrimination Lawyers
These days, it is not uncommon for employers to attempt to stop employees from taking time off, even when it is justifiable and necessary under the standards set by the FMLA or CFRA. In particular, some employers have been caught discriminating and retaliating against employees for taking maternity leave and paternity leave.
We have experience representing Californians who have been denied family or medical leave or have been mistreated after requesting such leave. We work hard to get the results that our clients need and deserve.
