Your FMLA Rights Clearly Defined

The Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) is crucial in ensuring employees can take the necessary time off for medical or family reasons without fearing job loss. As an employee, understanding your rights under the FMLA is paramount. And for employers, maintaining compliance is equally vital. At Bashian & Papantoniou, we provide clarity and comprehensive legal guidance on all facets of the FMLA.

  • Essentials of FMLA: Companies employing 50 or more individuals are mandated to provide unpaid leave for medical or family reasons. Whether you're an employee needing time off or an employer aiming to comply, understanding this act is essential.

  • Dedicated Expertise: With our significant experience concerning the FMLA, we're poised to deliver results for our clientele. From providing insights on eligibility to helping employers stay compliant, we're with you every step of the way.

  • Addressing FMLA Misconceptions: It's not just about unpaid leave; it's about ensuring employees can return to their position or a similar one. Employers are also prohibited from fostering a discouraging environment or retaliating against an employee on leave. Let us guide you through these nuances and help you protect your rights.
