Newark-Area Family Medical Leave Act Attorneys
The Family Medical Leave Act allows employees in companies that employ 50 or more employees to take up to 12 weeks of unpaid leave in a 12-month period for such events as the birth and early months of care of a newborn child, adoption and caring for a family member with a serious health condition. The FMLA also applies to employees who have serious illnesses or accident injuries. The FMLA also requires employers to maintain the employee's group health benefits during said leave.

The FMLA requires that employees are reinstated in their previous position or in an equivalent position when they return to work. In some circumstances an employee can take family medical leave at different times, depending on the unique facts of the case. If you lawfully take FMLA leave and your employer terminates you or takes some kind of adverse action against you, you may have a claim for damages. The Law Offices of Emanuel S.
