You Asked For Leave, Not A Layoff
When you use your earned vacation days or sick days, you don’t expect your job to be gone upon your return. Unfortunately, this is exactly what happens to some employees who take federally protected time off under the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) for:
- Childbirth or pregnancy
- Adoption
- A serious medical issue
- Taking care of a sick relative
- Caring for a family member returning from active duty
The FMLA allows you to take up to 12 unpaid weeks off work to deal with specified family issues. Your health insurance (if employer-provided) is supposed to continue during the leave. When you return, you’re supposed to get your same job back at the same pay or, at the very least, an equivalent job with equivalent pay. If you’ve been demoted, fired or otherwise penalized for using FMLA leave, call the

It’s Not Up To Them
Your employer may not be happy that you need to take time off, but that doesn’t mean it can punish you for it. The FMLA is not a company policy or an optional benefit, but a federally granted right for certain U.S. workers, including:
- Government employees
- Public school teachers
- Employees of companies that employ 50 or more
Our law firm is serious about protecting California workers’ rights to take advantage of this time off without fear of reprisal. If you suspect that you’ve suffered a work setback because you asked for or took FMLA leave, Los Angeles FMLA attorney Todd M. Friedman can help.
