Employment Law QuestionsCategory: LeavesI have worked more than 1250 hours, am I entitled to take FMLA?
Bill asked 4 years ago

I have worked for my employer since 2016. I applied for FMLA to care for my elderly mother who is almost 100 years old.  It was denied. I have worked more than 1250 hours for this company in the past year, and have not taken any other medical leaves ever. I also have other labor law issues with this company and I feel they are retaliated against me.  What can I do?

If your employer has more than 50 employees within a 75-mile radius of where you work, then you are probably entitled to take FMLA.  If your employer is denying you FMLA, they are likely in violation of the law.  You may have a case, so you should call an experienced Plaintiff’s employment law firm like ours for assistance on how to handle the situation with your employer.
