Have Your or Are Your Employment Rights Being Violated in Utah?

Although there are no federal legal requirements that state an employer must compensate an employee for sick leave, majority of companies do require that employees are provided with unpaid sick leave. The Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) is something many employers have to abide by and it protects employees from losing their job in the event they need to take time off from work for medical reasons.

Employees who qualify for FMLA must have:

Worked for their employer for at least 12 months.
Worked at least 1,250 hours over the previous 12 months.
Worked at a location where at least 50 people are employed by the employer within a 75-mile radius.

The purpose of taking FMLA is to secure your position and allot you the necessary time away from work to deal with your medical condition or that of a family member’s. Some common reasons why employees take FMLA include:

The birth of a son or daughter.
To care for a newborn.
If a child is being adopted and the parent wants to help get the child adjusted to their new living environment.
To care for an immediate family member such as a spouse, child, or parent who is dealing with a serious health condition. The United States Department of Labor states that a parent “in-law” is not a qualifying person that would allow you to take FMLA.

While there are certain laws your employer does and does not have to abide by, if you qualify for FMLA and your employer isn’t allowing you to take unpaid time away from work, you may have a claim on your hands. Our Utah employment and labor law attorney are familiar with the laws in the state of Utah and can easily help you get a claim started in the event your employer isn’t treating you fairly or respecting your rights as a worker.
