Job Stress? How the Family and Medical Leave Act Can Help

The Family and Medical Leave Act (“FMLA”) protects employees who work more than 25 hours per week for companies that have more than 50 employees. To be eligible for FMLA Leave, you must have worked for the company for at least 12 months.

Under FMLA, you are entitled to 12 weeks of unpaid leave per year  for your own serious health condition, a close family member’s serious health condition, if you are in the late stages of pregnancy or to care for a newborn child (whether you are the mother or the father). Although FMLA leave is unpaid, you are virtually guaranteed full job reinstatement upon your return to the company.

FMLA leave may be the most effective tool I know to combat work-related stress.  If a physician will certify that your condition requires you to take some time off of work, then you are eligible for FMLA leave with a right to full job reinstatement.  Once on FMLA leave for your own serious health condition, you may apply for short term disability benefits.  Also, you can take your vacation pay and sick pay to help you deal with the financial impact of unpaid FMLA leave.

If you are injured at work, in an accident or dealing with your own ongoing medical issue, or that of your spouse or child, you may be eligible for Family Leave. While the leave is unpaid, you can supplement your income via disability pay or other job-related benefits.  While you are away, the company will have to deal with the stress of your absence, while you may enjoy some quiet time at home to recharge your batteries, and consider your future employment options.

Sex Discrimination Lawyer Serving Coatesville, Pottstown, Norristown, East Norriton, Malvern, Paoli, Downingtown, Media, Radnor, Newtown Square and Philadelphia Areas

How does one prove sex discrimination in Pennsylvania? You must first show that you were treated differently than someone else who has a similar job to yours - and that someone must be of a different sex than you are. Such a person is called your "comparator." What type of different treatment should you look for? Denial of a promotion, being disciplined for something even though your comparator did the same thing and was not disciplined, being paid a lower wage....

You should complain to management, in writing, about what is going on. Use specific examples and make sure that you specifically state that you think you are a victim of sex discrimination. A simple e-mail to HR will suffice. If that does not do the trick, complain to the EEOC.

Of course, people can and often do anything they want. But if you are fired because of your complaint, you would have an excellent case for sex discrimination and retaliatory discharge. You would also get unemployment benefits.
