You Took Leave, Not a Layoff
When you take earned vacation, sick days, or federally protected time off under the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA), you expect your job to be there when you return. Unfortunately, some employees come back to find they’ve been unfairly demoted or even fired after exercising their rights.
The FMLA provides eligible employees with up to 12 weeks of unpaid leave to handle critical family and health-related matters, such as:
- Childbirth or pregnancy recovery
- Adoption or fostering a child
- Serious personal health conditions
- Caring for a sick family member
- Supporting a family member returning from active duty
Under FMLA protections, your employer must continue your health insurance (if employer-provided) and restore you to your previous position or an equivalent one with the same pay and benefits upon your return.
If your employer has crossed the line by penalizing you for taking FMLA leave—whether through termination, demotion, or other adverse actions—you need a legal advocate who will hold them accountable. That’s where the Law Offices of Todd M. Friedman, P.C. comes in. Our seasoned team knows how to stand up to unfair employers and safeguard your rights.

- Public school district employees
