Family and Medical Leave Act

Need a Hartford Employment Lawyer in Hartford?

Employees in Connecticut are protected under the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) to take leave when ill, when family members are ill or when they are having a child. If the certain criteria in the act are met, an employer is required to grant them leave and their job status cannot suffer because of it. This means that when they return, their job must be equivalent to what it was then they left. If your employer has denied you family or medical leave unfairly or retaliated due to a leave request, you can fight for your rights. Your employer cannot fire you for requesting leave or rid the need for your job while you are gone. Let Cicchiello & Cicchiello, LLP hold your employer accountable if they have treated you unfairly.
