Family & Medical Leave Violations

Thorman & Hardin-Levine’s attorneys are dedicated and experienced advocates on behalf of individuals who have been wrongfully denied employment opportunities or retaliated against because of a leave of absence under the Family and Medical Leave Act.

Federal law requires that employers permit qualifying employees to take up to twelve (12) weeks of unpaid leave for serious health conditions, to care for a close family member with a serious health condition, and for the birth or adoption of a child.  Employers covered by the FMLA cannot refuse to permit such a leave, or adversely affect the position of a person returning from a leave.
