Are you worried about facing termination while on disability leave in California? If your employer has given you a deadline to return to work or threatened you with job loss, it's essential to understand your rights. In this informative video, Shant Kotchounian, the Employment Law Managing Attorney at Michael Burgis and Associates, explains why employers cannot impose arbitrary deadlines on employees on disability leave.

Under the Family Medical Leave Act (FMLA) and the California Family Rights Act (CFRA), employees are entitled to 12 weeks of unpaid job-protected leave. However, some employers mistakenly interpret this as a maximum limit, which is not the case. The law requires an interactive process involving open communication and dialogue between you and your employer to explore potential solutions and accommodations for your extended leave.

In this video, Shant Kotchounian emphasizes the importance of discussing your situation with your employer to determine if additional time off work is needed. Your health should not be treated as a ticking clock, and asserting your rights is crucial. In a similar situation, seeking professional advice can provide clarity and guidance.
