Exceptional Employment Law And Defense Representation For California Employers

If your Central Coast business faces legal action from a current or former employee for a Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) issue — allegations of interference with FMLA rights or retaliating for the exercise of FMLA rights — you need the best, most experienced employer defense representation you can find.

In Santa Barbara and surrounding areas, the experienced attorneys at Anticouni & Ricotta can help put this legal crisis behind you.

Family And Medical Leave Guidelines

The Family and Medical Leave Act of 1993 allows up to 12 weeks of unpaid, job-protected leave during a year-long period to eligible, covered employees. Since the year of the law’s enactment, some employees have been known to take liberties with the time span of coverage and create fictitious reasons for taking the leave, after which an employer objects and legal action arises.

Whatever the circumstances surrounding the FMLA dispute you find yourself embroiled in, our law firm conducts the research, finds the facts and presents the talking points that advance corporate employment goals during mediation, negotiations and litigation, if needed.

Understanding The California Family Rights Act

The California Family Rights Act (CFRA) allows for up to 12 weeks of unpaid leave who are expectant parents, dealing with a pregnancy complication, adopting a child, taking paternity leave or struggling with health problems suffered by the child and/or employee.

For an employer to tamper with this employee right in any way would carry serious consequences, including money damages. If your Central Coast company has been accused of a CFRA irregularity of any kind by an employee, you need experienced employer legal defense representation in your corner — and you need it now.
