Has your California employer violated your rights when they fired or terminated your while under protected medical leave? If so, you may be entitled to compensation for the wrongful termination that violated either California State law or Federal law.

FMLA applies to you and whether your employer has violated the
FMLA laws is a factual question. Call our San
