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.
