Got questions?

We have answers to the most popular questions from our customers. If you can't find an answer to your question, please contact us.

Can FMLA claims be released?

Employees cannot waive, nor may employers induce employees to waive, their prospective rights under the FMLA. This does not prevent the settlement of FMLA claims by employees based on past employer conduct without the approval of the DOL or a court.

What is the average settlement for the FMLA lawsuit?

What is the average settlement for the FMLA lawsuit? According to Guardian Life and ESIS, the average FMLA lawsuit settlement in California and the rest of the US is roughly $80,000.

What are the rights and responsibilities under the Family and Medical Leave Act FMLA?

You have a right under the FMLA to take unpaid, job-protected FMLA leave in a 12-month period for certain family and medical reasons, including up to 12 weeks of unpaid leave in a 12-month period for the birth of a child or placement of a child for adoption or foster care, for leave related to your own or a family

Can an employer fire you after you come back from FMLA?

Yes, you can be fired once your FMLA leave has been exhausted. The FMLA also doesnt offer you any job additional protections as long as the firing isnt discriminatory.

How long does an employer keep FMLA records?

No particular order or form of records is required. However, employers must keep the records specified by FMLA regulations for no less than three years and make them available for inspection, copying and transcription by DOL representatives upon request.

What is the maximum amount of time you can take for a family medical leave?

If you do not take all of the 28 weeks of leave within the 52-week period, you will lose the remaining weeks. You can take separate, non-consecutive shorter periods of leaves (not to exceed the 28-week maximum) within the 52-week period if your family member has several episodes of a serious medical condition.

What are my rights during FMLA leave?

While employees are on FMLA leave, employers must continue health insurance coverage as if the employees were not on leave. Upon return from FMLA leave, most employees must be restored to the same job or one nearly identical to it with equivalent pay, benefits, and other employment terms and conditions.

Whats the difference between FMLA and medical leave?

Medical Leave: Both can cater to medical needs, such as recuperation from a serious illness or undergoing medical treatment. Parental Leave: FMLA specifically offers leave for the birth or adoption of a child, while leaves of absence may also be provided for parental leave based on the employers policies.
