Legal Question in Medical Leave in California

Fmla

My company is in California with 450 employees. I am in Pennsylvania--in sales-out of my home office. Am I covered under the FMLA by my company? Am I eligible for time off---paid? I have been told no.

You really should consult an Employment Attorney. This matter is complex and you should not try to do it yourself so you should get an attorney to discuss your options. If you are located in Southern California, you can email me your contact info, so we can discuss your particular situation. There is no charge for consultation
