Bergen County FMLA Lawyers: Pregnancy Attorneys

The Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) allows full-time employees who have been with a company for at least a year to take up to 12 weeks of unpaid leave for health-related reasons:

The employer cannot deny reasonable FMLA leave and cannot take adverse employment action (termination, demotion, negative performance review). The employer must also make reasonable accommodations of health problems or ongoing care of a family member once the person returns to work.

Personal leave — Illness, surgery and rehab, pregnancy complications, maternity leave
Family medical leave — Caring for an elderly parent, sick child, disabled spouse, etc.
