The Law Guarantees You Time for Family & Health. We Ensure You Get It.
Your family needs you, and your health comes first. Under California’s CFRA and federal FMLA, you are entitled to take protected, job-guaranteed leave. If your employer has denied your request, delayed your approval, or failed to inform you of your rights, we are here to hold them accountable.
Whether it’s to care for a sick parent, recover from surgery, or bond with a new child, medical and family leave are not "perks"—they are legally protected rights. Employers frequently try to bully employees out of using this time by claiming "staffing shortages" or "ineligibility." In California, these excuses rarely hold up against the law. If you’ve been denied the leave you’re entitled to, it’s time to level the playing field.
When an employer denies a leave request that clearly meets the legal requirements under CFRA or FMLA.
Employers are legally required to notify you of your rights to take leave. Failing to do so is a clear violation of the law.
Requiring "extra" medical proofs or non-standard paperwork specifically designed to delay or discourage you from taking your leave.
Refusing leave for family members or medical conditions that are explicitly covered by California’s broader family leave statutes.
Improperly counting protected leave days as "unexcused absences" to justify disciplinary action or termination.
Returning from leave only to find your original position has been filled, abolished, or moved, violating your right to reinstatement.
Employers will often try to paint a medical leave request as a "request for a favor." We ensure that narrative is corrected immediately. Your leave is a statutory right, not a company decision. When a business ignores the medical facts, they are gambling with your future. We make sure they lose that gamble.
“When your employer ignores your right to leave, they are prioritizing their convenience over your basic legal rights. We force them to respect your time and your family’s needs.” — Avi Gholian, Founding Attorney
