Minnesota Family Medical Leave Act Lawyer
The Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) guarantees an employee up to 12 weeks of unpaid leave in the event of the serious health condition of the employee or employee's close family member. An employee can also take unpaid leave in the event of the birth or adoption of a child.
Most employers routinely grant leave for these events. Some employers however, do not. Others may terminate or demote the employee after his or her return to work. If you have been unlawfully denied leave or have been fired or disciplined for taking leave you are entitled to, you have rights.
Remedies in a successful FMLA case include compensation for lost wages and benefits, and/or reinstatement to the position previously held.
At Dunnwald & Peterson, P.A., we stand up for employees in FMLA cases. We use the legal system to assert our clients' rights and get the fair treatment they deserve.
