Taking a leave for a pregnancy or serious medical condition should not result in the loss of a job upon your return. Statutes exist to protect not only the employment status of those needing a leave, but also their rights under the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA). Our job is to hold employers accountable when they commit serious violations.
At The Law Office of Holiday Hunt Russell, we are:
- Confident in our ability to deliver client-oriented results
- Creative in our problem-solving
- Committed to client loyalty
- Compassionate, yet tenacious
Hollywood and Fort Lauderdale FMLA Eligibility Lawyer
The Family and Medical Leave Act was established to protect employees needing to take time off when a health-related issue involving them or close family members impacts their ability to work. The pregnancy of a spouse or an illnesses suffered by a parent, grandparent, sibling or child falls under that statute.
To qualify under the FMLA, your employer must have 50 or more employees in a 75-mile radius at any office. Employees must have been employed for a year with 1,250 hours worked in that year.
In spite of that statute, many employers try to get around the regulations, citing technicalities to deny a leave or replace an employee while he or she is away. Denials and interference have serious consequences and violate your FMLA rights. Immediate action is needed from a committed and compassionate attorney with experience and knowledge to secure the best outcome.
That level of advocacy is what Holiday Russell — the founder of our firm — prides himself on.
