Family Medical Leave Act - Attorneys That Handle Violations and Lawsuits in New Jersey and New York - FMLA

Under New York employment law, there is a federal law called the Family and Medical Leave Act (“FMLA”) which covers some New York workers as well as the workers of other states.   In order to be covered by the FMLA, the worker must work for a company that employs at least fifty(50) employees and the worker must have been employed for twelve months and worked at least one thousand-two hundred fifty (1,250) hours during the last year.   A worker can use FMLA leave to take time off for his/her own serious medical condition or to care for a seriously ill child, spouse, or parent.   The FMLA allows an employee to take off up to twelve(12) weeks. The FMLA allows intermittent leave periodically for say chemotherapy treatments or for a leave of absence.  The FMLA does not require that the time off be paid time off.  In addition, if the employee returns to the job in less than twelve(12) weeks, the employee must be returned to his/her same or an equivalent job. 

The Law Offices of Louis Ginsberg, P.C. have handled numerous FMLA cases.  An employee who believes that their rights under the FMLA have been violated may also have claims under the Disability Laws.
