Employee Rights To Leave
Under certain circumstances, California employers must, by law, give their employees leave. If they fail to give employees leave or punish an employee for taking leave for a legally protected reason, employers should be sued. You may be entitled to take leave for:
- Family medical leave
- Military leave
- Pregnancy: including post-birth leave
- Voting
The Dolan Law Firm has handled dozens of cases for workers denied their lawful rights to leave recovering millions for our clients. In one case, our lead trial lawyer, Christopher Dolan, won a $650,000 settlement for a woman who was denied full pregnancy leave. The woman was also demoted and harassed because of her pregnancy.
