Explaining Your Legal Rights: The Family and Medical Leave Act

Under both state and federal law, employees have the right to take leave under certain circumstances for a medical condition of the employee or a member of the employee’s family. If you believe that your employer has unlawfully denied your right to leave under the federal Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) or a similar Maryland, Washington, D.C., or Virginia law, contact Thatcher Zavaro & Mani for a thorough review and candid appraisal of your claims.
