What should an employee do if their employer violates FMLA or PMLA rights?

If an employer violates FMLA or PMLA rights, an employee can:

1️⃣ File a complaint with HR: Employees should first report the issue to their human resources department and request a written response.

2️⃣ Document everything: Keep records of leave requests, employer responses, emails, and medical documentation.

3️⃣ Contact the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL): Employees can file an FMLA complaint with the Wage and Hour Division (WHD) at 1-866-487-9243.

4️⃣ File a lawsuit: Employees may sue for lost wages, reinstatement, and legal fees if they experience wrongful termination or retaliation.

Employers found non-compliant may face:

🔹 Fines and penalties under federal and state law.

🔹 Lawsuits for wrongful termination or discrimination.

🔹 Orders to reinstate affected employees with back pay.
