Signs of FMLA Retaliation

If the action is conducted because you are taking the unpaid leave to which the FMLA authorizes you, it might be considered retaliation. Always get legal advice as soon as you fear retaliation in the workplace for a claim you filed against your employer, as these cases can be particularly time-sensitive. Retaliation under the FMLA can take a variety of forms, including:

  • Isolating the employee
  • Job termination
  • Loss of career opportunities
  • Demotion
  • Humiliating/harassing the employee
  • Wage or hour loss

How to Apply for FMLA in California?

In order to apply for Family Medical Leave, you will need to notify your employer of your intentions and provide them with the following information:
  • Enough information about your medical condition or family member's condition to allow your employer to determine if the situation qualifies for FMLA.
  • Provide any necessary documentation required to prove that you or a family member have been receiving ongoing medical attention.

It’s important to keep in mind that if you are providing medical information to your employer, you are not required to disclose details about your or a family member’s illness, nor are you required to disclose private medical information that is protected by law.
