Castronovo & McKinney, LLC, situated in Morristown, NJ, serves as a staunch ally in preventing retaliation against employees for taking family leave. Family leave, whether for the birth or adoption of a child, to care for a sick family member, or to address one’s own serious health condition, is a fundamental right protected by various federal and state laws, including the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) and state-specific family leave laws. Retaliation against employees for exercising their right to take family leave is not only unethical but also illegal, and Castronovo & McKinney, LLC is committed to advocating for the rights of employees who have faced such retaliation.
Retaliation for taking family leave can take various forms, including termination, demotion, reduction in hours, denial of promotions or benefits, unfavorable job assignments, or harassment. Such retaliation not only violates employees’ rights but also undermines the purpose of family leave laws, which is to allow employees to take time off to care for themselves or their families without fear of adverse consequences.

One of the key challenges in preventing retaliation for taking family leave is ensuring that employees are aware of their rights and know how to assert them effectively.
