Leave for Child Illness

Child and Family Sick Leave

Los Angeles, California, Employment Law Attorneys

If you need time off from work to care for your spouse, child, parent, or even yourself, you have rights under the Family Medical Leave Act (FMLA) to help you balance your work responsibilities with the needs of your family. At the Bononi Law Group, our lawyers have extensive experience and an in-depth understanding of how this law applies to individuals in all employment situations.

To discuss your rights and options regarding employment leave for child illness and the obligations of your employer under the FMLA, we can help. Contact our firm today to arrange a free consultation with a committed client advocate.

Depending upon the size of the employer, employees are entitled to up to 12 weeks unpaid family sick leave per year without losing their health benefits. Employees are further guaranteed employment in the same or comparable position when they return from leave, without retaliation.

Pregnancy raises many questions for female employees and their families. California law requires that employers make accommodations for female employees disabled by pregnancy, childbirth, or related medical conditions for a reasonable amount of time. FMLA also allows male employees leave for the birth of a child, placement of a child through adoption or foster care, or serious health condition of a child or spouse.

Our firm is equipped to handle even the most complicated employment law cases. We are highly regarded throughout Southern California for providing employees and employers with high quality legal advocacy at every stage of the legal process. From the moment we take a case, in alternative dispute resolution, litigation, and appeals, we are committed to effectively and efficiently serving the unique needs of each client.

If you have been denied your right to family sick leave under the FMLA, or if you have suffered discrimination, harassment, or retaliation due to pregnancy leave or family sick leave, you have options.
