What Constitutes an “Adverse Employment Action” in the Context of FMLA Retaliation Claims?

[@zachbishop3795]

I was on a medical leave I was forced to take. I had a note from my doctor saying I was capable to work and my job denied it. They never fired me but when I came back put me back on as a "new hire". I lost my pto, my benifits, and my 6 months before that leave no longer count towards 1 year of work for a raise. At no point on file was I ever let go or terminated in any way. Did they break the law?

I’m thinking so because it’s sounds like a kind of demotion. I hope you sought help. I just returned early from LOA, with a doctors fit for duty. My manager said I’m not on the schedule for the next 7 weeks because that’s the original date set for the 12 weeks and she made the schedule already and she “can’t” change it. Lol what bs! I didn’t argue with her. I’m going to seek help and possibly file for unemployment, unless advised not to.

What if you were wrote up for taken a FMLA while my mother was terminally ill, they told me I was suppose to call in every single day while I was off for those two weeks and the kept calling me while I was off with my mother?

I work for the VA and I have a FMLA for my father. I was told by my supervisor that I won’t get promoted because of my FMLA.

Discriminatory

[@marnekathompson6522]

Oh yes they call me in when I came back to work 3 times giving me formal letters harassing me stressing me out to the point where I felt like I was about to have a stroke or a heart attack and EMT had to come get me off the job they said I was close to having a stroke blood pressure was 148/121

That is what happened to me for my Late Mother 2010.

I'm in court now for my fmla/ADA for my mother, finger surgery & Covid-19 long hauler each time they made it very difficult. It has been very stressful

So if I was threaten with continue use of my FMLA, and then retaliated against the next week after would I have a case?

[@rob8224-x4h]

Not a lawyer, but its not a threat. It is your right under law. I wouldn't use that term or maybe they would call you hostile.

Very good video. You took your time and spoke patiently. Your website offers so many good details to explain the differences. (We are in a different state outside your area. ). Still l subscribed to you to watch and learn from your other videos 🙌🏽👍🏼

I need to run 6 trips before taking my daus off... i used fmla 2 days last week and my employer stated that my fmla was not allowed. So I was not allowed to take my time off this week. I have worked 10 straight shifts besides the fmla days. Is this allowed? Do they have to have my fmla paperwork to consider it valid?
