FMLA Claims Attorney in Atlanta, GA

FMLA Claims Overview

Atlanta FMLA Claims and Employment Law Lawyers

The Family Medical Leave Act (FMLA) affords you with numerous legal rights, including the right to take time off for your own illness, the illness of an immediate family member, or the birth or adoption of a child. These rights are not contingent on filling out paperwork and following arbitrary procedures laid out by your employer. You need only give your employer enough information to put it on notice. For instance, if you say "I need next week for surgery" or call in and say "I've been hurt and I'm in the hospital" you are owed time off under the FMLA.

Once you're able to return to work or once FMLA time limits run out, you have the right to return to your position. Has your employer denied your request to take time off? Have you returned to work after an illness or pregnancy and learned that you've been fired? Or has your employer claimed that you "quit"? You may be able to obtain damages under the FMLA.
