Legal Answers to Common Questions
Can I sue my employer if I was fired for taking leave?
Yes. Whether you took medical leave, family leave, parental leave, pregnancy leave, or even military leave, it is illegal for an employer to fire you simply for exercising your rights under federal or state law. If you were terminated after requesting or taking approved leave, you may have grounds for a wrongful termination lawsuit to recover lost wages, reinstatement, and damages.
How long do I have to file a lawsuit?
Time limits vary depending on the type of claim and jurisdiction. For example, under the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA), you generally have two years to file a lawsuit (three years if the violation was willful). Other claims, such as discrimination or retaliation, may require filing with the EEOC within 180 days. Because deadlines are strict, it’s critical to act quickly to protect your rights.
What steps should I take if I believe I was wrongfully terminated for taking leave?
Document everything – keep records of emails, HR forms, medical certifications, and communications with your employer.
Know your deadlines – missing the statute of limitations could prevent you from filing a claim.
