FMLA and CFRA Violations: Protecting Your Right to Family and Medical Leave

At Gruzen Moussly Law, we understand the importance of balancing work responsibilities with family needs and personal health. The Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) and the California Family Rights Act (CFRA) provide crucial protections for employees who need to take time off for family or medical reasons. However, violations of these laws are unfortunately common, and many employees find their rights under FMLA and CFRA infringed upon. Our firm is dedicated to helping employees understand and assert their rights to family and medical leave.

Common violations of FMLA and CFRA include denying eligible employees their right to take leave, interfering with or discouraging employees from taking leave, failing to reinstate employees to their previous or equivalent positions after leave, and retaliating against employees who exercise their rights under these laws. If you believe your FMLA or CFRA rights have been violated, it’s crucial to take action. Document all communications with your employer regarding your leave, keep records of any adverse actions taken against you, and consult with an experienced employment attorney.
