If you or a loved one is experiencing serious health issues, you understand you are going through one of life’s most stressful events. Taking care of a serious health problem is a full-time job, except that you already have a full-time job. How do you deal with a significant health issue that requires you to take time off?
The answer is the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA).
Enacted at the beginning of the Clinton Administration in 1993, the FMLA is considered by many legal scholars to represent one of the most influential employment laws passed by the United States Congress. The FMLA includes dozens of legal provisions, one of which covers the FMLA family member definition.
The family law attorneys at Morgan & Morgan help workers cope with a personal illness, as well as a devastating event that negatively impacts the entire family. We have represented many clients that failed to receive the rights written into the FMLA. If your employer has failed to comply with the landmark legislation, reach out to one of our family law lawyers to schedule a free case evaluation.
