Denied FMLA Benefits

Both Federal and California Labor Laws require that employers allow employees to take up to 12 weeks of unpaid leave. When employees are denied FMLA benefits, some of the circumstances that constitute a violation include:

An employer prevents you from taking leave when you have a medical condition
An employer prevents you from taking leave when a family member has a serious medical condition
An employer fails to maintain your health, dental, and vision benefits throughout the full 12 weeks of leave to which you’re entitled
An employer claims to have no obligation to maintain your health, dental, and vision benefits throughout the full 12 weeks of leave to which you’re entitled
An employer makes it difficult or impossible to take personal or family medical leave
An employer treats you differently after having taken your lawful leave
An employer retaliates or discriminates against you for taking your lawful leave by, as one example, demoting you to a lesser job

If you believe your employer has not complied with the requirements for providing personal or family medical leave, you may have a claim.

California PTO Laws

Employers are not required to provide vacation benefits or paid time off (PTO). But if they do, they must follow California PTO Laws.

Have you experienced any of the following:

Your employer has reduced earned vacation benefits during your employment
Your employer reduced any earned vacation benefits at the end of your employment
Your employer has a “Use It or Lose It” vacation benefits policy
Your employer has reduced any earned PTO (including sick days) during your employment
Your employer reduced any earned PTO at the end of your employment
Your employer restricts your use of paid sick leave to only certain times
Your employer doesn’t cash out your sick time at the end of your employment (only if you work in San Francisco)

Remember, once you earn vacation time or PTO, it’s just like any pay you’ve earned and it cannot be taken away. In fact, if you quit, get fired or laid off, you’re entitled to receive—as part of your final paycheck—the money value of all earned and unused vacation time.

If you believe that your employer has not complied with the applicable laws governing vacation time and PTO, as outlined above, you may very well have a claim. Take action now!
