Attorneys Aiding Federal Workers Whose Rights Have Been Violated Under The Family Medical Leave Act

Happy familyFederal workers who have been employed full time for more than twelve months have certain rights under the Family Medical Leave Act (FMLA). The FMLA ensures that workers are allowed to take up to twelve weeks of unpaid leave from their job without having to worry that their position will be filled in their absence. The FMLA also ensures that health benefits remain intact during such leave. If you believe that your FMLA rights have been violated then it is important to contact an attorney right away. Our Atlanta based law firm assists federal employees throughout the United States. Call now for a free case evaluation.

Atlanta based attorneys representing those filing FMLA complaints against federal employers

The FMLA provides most federal employees time off to handle family emergencies and significant milestones. The act applies to federal employees who wish to:

  • Take time off in order to raise and care for a newborn baby
  • Take time off to bond with a recently adopted child or foster child
  • Take time off to care for an immediate family member who is ill
  • Take time off due to a personal medical condition

There are a number of reasons why an employee and employer may have a disagreement over FMLA rights. Common reasons why an employee would file a complaint include a disagreement over whether the employee is eligible for FMLA, a disagreement over whether the situation is covered by FMLA, an issue in which the employee’s position is filled in their absence and the new assignment is not equal to the former position, or health benefits were terminated during the employee’s leave. If you believe that your FMLA rights have been violated then you have a limited amount of time to file a complaint. Contact an attorney immediately.
