We fight for California employees who are fired or mistreated after taking a family or medical leave of absence from work.

Family And Medical Leave Act

The Family and Medical Leave Act (the FMLA) is the federal law that generally prevents an employee from being terminated for missing work because of a health problem or to care for a close family member with a serious health problem. The provisions of this law can be found at Section 2601 of Title 29 of the United States Code.

California Family Rights Act

The California Family Rights Act (the CFRA) allows an employee to take up to 12 weeks of leave in a year. The CFRA, also known as the Moore-Brown-Roberti Family Rights Act is part of the California Fair Employment and Housing Act (the FEHA), which protects employees against various forms of discrimination and harassment. The CFRA can be found at Section 12945.2 of the California Government Code.The California law is generally preferable to the federal counterpart because it does not limit the amount of compensatory and punitive damages you may recover against the defendant if you prevail.
