Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) litigation matters are best avoided by developing appropriate and effective Board policies and practices. The firm has prepared and/or reviewed and revised FMLA policies for over 200 school districts and colleges. Most FMLA suits involve allegations that employees were retaliated against for exercising their FMLA rights. These suits generally occur because of poor timing and lack of documentation. MGO attorneys have successfully counseled clients at this pre-litigation stage to avoid lawsuits and ensure that the District’s education decisions are upheld in court.
