FMLA Attorney | Employment Lawyer in Chino Hills
In California, complex federal and state laws guarantee a prescribed leave of absence in certain situations for qualified employees. If your rights were violated by an employer, our knowledgeable Family and Medical Leave Attorneys at Rupal Law will help you navigate this employment dispute while seeking justice and financial compensation for the resulting damages.
The CA Family Rights Act and the federal Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) guarantee time off for individuals at workplaces that employ 50 or more workers. Employers must allow up to 12 weeks of medical leave and/or family leave each year for employees who have been there for a minimum of twelve months and have accrued over 1,250 hours during the preceding year.
Individuals with the following circumstances are entitled to family leave or medical leave:
- A serious illness or injury
- A new child (including maternity leave)
- Caring for a child (in adoption or fostering situations)
- Caring for an ill family member
When an employee returns from the leave, their pay rate must be equivalent to their prior rate. The employer must maintain all employee benefits for the duration of the leave.
When this leave is denied to qualified individuals, our Family and Medical Leave Attorneys will stand up for your rights against the employer who will also face substantial penalties.
