When you or a loved one faces a medical or family emergency, the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) gives you the right to take time off without losing your job. But when employers deny that right, you need a trusted FMLA lawyer in Los Angeles on your side. At Marcarian Law Firm, we help employees fight FMLA and CFRA violations across California.

Understanding FMLA and CFRA Rights

Under FMLA, eligible employees can take up to 12 weeks of unpaid, job-protected leave for reasons such as:

Personal or family medical conditions
Birth or adoption of a child
Care for a seriously ill family member
Military family emergencies

The California Family Rights Act (CFRA) provides similar, sometimes broader protections. Employers with 50 or more employees must comply with these laws. You cannot be fired, demoted, or punished for requesting leave.

When an Employer Violates FMLA

Many workers experience unfair treatment when they request family or medical leave. Common FMLA violations include:

Denying FMLA leave despite eligibility
Retaliation or job termination after a request
Discouraging you from using leave
Failing to inform you about your FMLA rights
Misclassifying employees to avoid compliance

If this sounds familiar, it’s time to speak with a Los Angeles FMLA denial attorney immediately.

Steps to Take After FMLA Denial

If your employer wrongfully denied your FMLA or CFRA leave, protect yourself by:

Documenting all communications with HR or management
Requesting written reasons for the denial
Filing a complaint with the U.S. Department of Labor
Consulting an employment law attorney at Marcarian Law Firm

The sooner you act, the stronger your case will be.
