You Took FMLA Leave. What Happens Next Matters.

Returning to work after taking FMLA leave can bring up important questions. Many employees wonder: Could I face consequences for taking time away from work to care for myself or a loved one?

The Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) protects eligible employees from retaliation for exercising their right to take protected leave. Retaliation can take many forms, including:

• Being disciplined for absences that were covered by FMLA
• Receiving a negative performance review because you took leave
• Being excluded from opportunities, projects, or promotions after returning
• Experiencing a sudden change in responsibilities, schedule, or treatment
• Facing termination or threats after requesting or taking leave

Every situation is unique, but recognizing the warning signs can help you better understand your workplace rights. At MSB Employment Justice, our employee rights attorneys are experienced, compassionate advocates who understand the challenges employees face. If you you've experienced retaliation or a termination after taking FMLA leave, our team is here to help you understand your legal rights and options. (612) 677-2680

Did You Know? Your Leave Rights May Cover More Than You Think.

Many employees know about taking leave for the birth of a child—but that's only one of the reasons you may qualify for protected leave.

Depending on your circumstances, FMLA and Minnesota Paid Family and Medical Leave (PFML) may provide leave for reasons such as:

✔️ Bonding with a new child after birth, adoption, or foster placement
✔️ Caring for a family member with a serious health condition
✔️ Your own serious health condition that prevents you from working
✔️ Certain military-related family needs or caring for a covered service member (FMLA)
✔️ Safety leave related to domestic abuse, sexual assault, stalking, or certain other qualifying situations (Minnesota PFML)

Every situation is unique, and understanding which law applies—and how different leave benefits work together—can be confusing. Knowing your rights is the first step toward protecting them. If you're unsure about your rights or believe your employer may have denied protected leave, we're here to help. www.msbjustice.com

Seven months after Minnesota's Paid Family and Medical Leave (PFML) program took effect, one thing is clear: understanding the law is only part of the challenge. Applying it in the workplace has proven far more complex.

In our latest blog, MSB attorney Amy Boyle shares her insights from the first seven months of PFML, including:

• How the leave process has changed

• Common challenges coordinating PFML with FMLA, PTO, and employer-provided benefits

• Why job restoration is an issue employers can't afford to overlook

• What employers should expect as the law continues to evolve

Experiencing discrimination at work can be stressful, isolating, and emotionally exhausting. The fear of speaking up, uncertainty about what comes next, and ongoing stress of being treated unfairly can contribute to anxiety, loss of confidence, difficulty sleeping, and other challenges that impact your daily life.

For employees facing discrimination, retaliation, or termination, the emotional weight can feel overwhelming. Recognizing the impact on your mental health is an important step toward finding support, protecting yourself, and understanding your options.

While navigating workplace discrimination, consider:
✔ Prioritizing your mental health and making time for self-care.
✔ Leaning on trusted friends, family members, or mental health professionals for support.
✔ Documenting your experiences and learning about your workplace rights.
✔ Exploring the steps available to address discrimination and protect your future.

At MSB Employment Justice, we understand that workplace discrimination affects more than your job—it can affect your confidence, your stability, and your well-being. We help employees understand their rights and explore options when they have experienced discrimination, retaliation, or wrongful termination.

If you believe you have faced workplace discrimination, contact us today to learn more about how we may be able to help.

Can My Employer Fire Me for Reporting Disability Discrimination?

Speaking up about disability discrimination takes courage. If you report discrimination, request a reasonable accommodation, or assert your rights under the law, your employer generally cannot retaliate against you for doing so.

Retaliation can take many forms, including:
• Termination
• Demotion or discipline
• Reduced hours or pay
• Unfair performance reviews
• Other actions intended to discourage you from exercising your rights

Every situation is unique, and whether unlawful retaliation has occurred depends on the specific facts. If you've been fired, disciplined, or treated differently after speaking up, you may have legal protections.

At MSB Employment Justice, we understand how overwhelming these situations can be. Our team is committed to helping employees understand their rights, evaluate their options, and move forward with compassionate, experienced legal guidance.
