Case review map

Start with leave eligibility

A leave review begins with employer coverage, your work history, and the reason for leave before considering a denial or job change.

  1. Coverage

    Note the employer, worksite, and your employment history.

  2. Leave reason

    Identify the requested dates and qualifying reason.

  3. Employer response

    Keep eligibility notices and written decisions.

FMLA Lawyers: situations to review

  • A family or medical leave request was denied
  • Absences counted against you despite potentially protected leave
  • Your role or pay changed after returning from leave

Review leave denial, interference or retaliation

Understand whether your leave request and job may be protected under the FMLA.

FMLA questions begin with employer coverage, employee eligibility and the reason for leave. A review can address a denied request, interference with approved leave or treatment after returning.

  1. A family or medical leave request was denied
  2. Absences counted against you despite potentially protected leave
  3. Your role or pay changed after returning from leave

Useful records for your case review

Keep records you already have lawful access to, including original dates. A short timeline is useful even when some documents are missing.

  1. Leave requests, eligibility notices and employer responses
  2. Relevant certification requests and leave dates
  3. Work location, employment history and changes after leave

Eligibility and related leave protections

The FMLA provides unpaid, job-protected leave to eligible employees of covered employers for qualifying reasons. Eligibility depends on factors including service, hours worked and employer coverage. Even if federal FMLA does not apply, state leave law or disability-accommodation rules may be relevant.

How It Works

  1. Share the timelineExplain what happened, where you worked and the key dates.
  2. Review the factsAn employment attorney can assess coverage, evidence and applicable deadlines.
  3. Understand your optionsReview potential next steps and representation terms before deciding how to proceed.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does every employee qualify for FMLA?

No. Eligibility and employer coverage must be assessed, along with the reason for leave.

Is FMLA leave paid?

FMLA leave itself is unpaid. Paid leave may run alongside it, and separate state programs or employer benefits may apply.

Can an employer count protected leave against me?

Using protected FMLA leave as a negative factor in employment decisions can violate the law. Bring the attendance record and the relevant decision so the circumstances can be reviewed.

What should I prepare for a free consult?

Start with your employer, work location and a short timeline of what happened. The initial case evaluation is free; you can begin even if you do not have every document.
