Trusted Leave Law Litigation Attorneys in Beverly Hills, California

Leave Law Litigation Attorneys

At Mehtani Law Offices, P.C., our Beverly Hills Leave Law litigation attorneys know that all

California employees are entitled, by law, to file a claim against their employers for failing to engage in the interactive process regarding their needs, failing to accommodate their lawfully protected needs, or failing to reinstate them to their previous positions when they return from leave.

In addition, when employees find their medical benefits have been discontinued or have been wrongfully terminated while on leave, our Los Angeles County employment lawyers are here to help you and your family hold them liable for your full legal recovery.

What State and Federal Statutes Protect California Employees From Leave Law Violations?

The primary state and federal laws that protect employees from leave law violations in California include:

The FEHA is enforced by the Civil Rights Department (CRD), and contains family care

and medical leave provisions for California employees. The CFRA provides eligible employees with up to 12 weeks of unpaid, job-protected leave to care for their own serious health condition or a family member with a serious health condition, or to bond with a new child.

In addition, California law requires covered employers to provide employees disabled by pregnancy, childbirth, or a related medical condition with unpaid, job-protected leave (PDL) and/or accommodations.

The law also requires covered employers to grant eligible employees’ requests for up to five days of bereavement leave upon the death of certain family members. In addition, our California leave of absence laws protects military members, disabled employees, and others who need to take time away to address their personal, medical, or family needs.

CFRA provides additional leave protections for California employees than its federal counterpart, FMLA. Combined, employees are protected from threats of being discriminated against, demoted, replaced, or terminated for requesting or taking leave for covered purposes.

If you are a California employee, and you can demonstrate by a preponderance of the evidence that your employer has violated your rights outlined in both state and federal leave laws, we can help you pursue the damages you are entitled to for their unlawful behavior.

What Type of Legal Remedies Can I Pursue If My California Employer Violates the State’s Leave of Absence Laws?

If your employer has violated your right to take a protected leave of absence, our Beverly Hills employment law attorneys can pursue monetary and non-monetary remedies on your behalf.

That may include, but is not limited to:

  • Reinstatement.
  • Back Pay.
  • Front Pay.
  • Punitive Damages
  • Damages for any Injuries or Losses Suffered by the Employee.
  • Damages for Pain and Suffering, Embarrassment, and Humiliation.
  • Attorneys’ Fees.

Your employer may also be required to provide training for supervisors and managers about the laws that protect California employees’ right to pregnancy, medical, disability, and other forms of leave.

If your rights have been violated by taking any leave you were entitled to, we want to help.
