Employers Don't Always Like It, But the FMLA Is the Law
Under the FMLA, companies with more than 50 employees are required to grant unpaid medical leave to qualified workers seeking time off to care for themselves or a qualifying member of their immediate family. The rules are simple: Your employer must reserve the same or comparable job for you when you return to work and you cannot suffer a hostile work environment or retaliation for exercising your rights. If your employer is giving you grief about taking time off from work under the federal Family Medical Leave Act, then you should talk with an experienced Employment Law attorney to make sure that you have the law on your side.
"Employers often act as if only women should get family medical leave. The FMLA applies to both men and women. If you are a male worker who is suffering retaliation for exercising your legal rights, hire an experienced attorney who is not afraid to stand up for your rights. I am ready to help." — Attorney Stephen Boyce
