Taking family or maternity leave should be a time to focus on your family, not worry about job security. Unfortunately, some employers violate family and maternity leave laws, causing undue stress and financial hardship. If you’ve been denied leave, faced employment retaliation, or experienced other violations, Light & Miller is here to help you fight for your rights.

Understanding Family and Maternity Leave Violations

Family and maternity leave laws, such as the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA), ensure that eligible employees can take unpaid, job-protected leave for specific family and medical reasons. Violations of these laws can include:

  • Denied Leave Requests: Employers refusing to grant eligible leave.
  • Retaliation: Facing demotion, termination, or other adverse actions for taking leave.
  • Failure to Reinstate: Not being returned to your original or an equivalent position after leave.
  • Interference with Leave Rights: Employers creating obstacles or intimidating employees to prevent them from taking leave.
