JOB BENEFITS AND PROTECTION:
o For the duration of FMLA leave, the employer must maintain the employee’s health
coverage under any “group health plan.”
o Upon return from FMLA leave, most employees must be restored to their original or
equivalent positions with equivalent pay, benefits, and other employment terms.
o The use of FMLA leave cannot result in the loss of any employment benefit that
accrued prior to the start of an employee's leave, unless, for example, that benefit
is used during the leave itself, such as application of accrued paid sick days for
otherwise unpaid FMLA leave.
UNLAWFUL ACTS BY EMPLOYERS: FMLA makes it unlawful for any employer to:
o Interfere with, restrain, or deny the exercise of any right provided under FMLA;
o Discharge or discriminate against any person for opposing any practice made
unlawful by FMLA or for involvement in any proceeding under or relating to FMLA.
ENFORCEMENT:
o The U.S. Department of Labor is authorized to investigate and resolve complaints
of violations.
o An eligible employee may bring a civil action against an employer for violations.
FMLA does not affect any Federal or State Law prohibiting discrimination, or supersede
any State or local law or collective bargaining agreement which provides greater family or
medical leave rights.
