Greenville Family Medical Leave Act Lawyer

Protecting Your Job, Your Benefits, Your Family

If you have worked for your employer for at least a year and your employer is of a certain size (50 or more employees within a 75-mile radius of your worksite), you may be entitled to time off from work for your own important medical and personal issues or those of your family under the Family Medical Leave Act (FMLA). Contact us to learn more about your rights under FMLA.

The Family Medical Leave Act provides certain legal rights to you if:

• You have a serious medical condition that impacts your ability to do your job
• Your spouse, child or parent has a serious medical condition that requires your help
• You or a spouse is giving birth or if you are adopting a child or taking in a foster child

When an employer violates an employee’s legal rights under FMLA by punishing, terminating or otherwise illegally treating an employee who took time off, that employee can bring a lawsuit. If you have experienced FMLA discrimination, you should discuss your case with an experienced employment attorney.
