Common Questions About FMLA Violations
General information only — not legal advice.
Who is eligible for FMLA leave?
You must work for a covered employer (50+ employees within 75 miles), have worked there for at least 12 months, and have worked at least 1,250 hours in the previous 12 months. Some states have their own family leave laws with broader coverage.
Can my employer fire me for taking FMLA leave?
No. It is illegal to interfere with or retaliate against FMLA rights. Upon return, you are generally entitled to your same or equivalent position with the same pay, benefits, and working conditions.
What if my employer says I'm not eligible?
Employers sometimes incorrectly deny FMLA eligibility. They may miscalculate hours worked, misapply the 50-employee threshold, or fail to count time under state leave laws. An attorney can evaluate whether you were improperly denied.
