Fighting Against Gaithersburg FMLA Violations
The federal Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) guarantees you 12 weeks of unpaid time off each year for protected medical or family reasons as long as you and your employer meet certain restrictions. If you were denied FMLA, demoted or terminated while on FMLA, you should contact an experienced representative immediately.
FMLA violations are very straightforward. Either your rights were violated or not; intent doesn't matter. If you decide to take this matter to the Department of Labor, you will have to do it without representation. If you'd rather file suit, contact a Maryland Family Medical Leave Act lawyer at Kathlynne Ramirez, Esq. LLC for legal advice and advocacy.
There are many ways your rights under the FMLA can be violated by your employer, including:
- Refusing to grant you time off for protected family or medical reasons
- Demoting or terminating your employment while you are on leave
- Refusing to bring you back in the same or an equivalent position when your leave is over
- Taking your time off into account in your performance reviews
The timeframes in these situations are very strict. You should contact a lawyer as soon as your rights have been violated. It is possible to represent yourself in these matters, but it is quite easy to miss important information or say the wrong thing. An attorney will fight to protect your rights and your best interests. We will stand by your side throughout the case.
