Legal Question in Employment Law in California
Sick leave / FMLA / Pregancy leave
I had to take three days off due to my kids being really sick and my job is penalizing me for this. They say if I have any more accurances of this, I may loose my job. Is this legal? I just came back from a 6 week pregancy leave and I thought that by FMLA I am allowed to take days off for my kids if they are sick, but my company says that I used up all FMLA rights for my pregnancy leave. Is this true? What if I have exhaughsted my sick/vacation time? Please assist me with my rights. Thank you

if you have no FMLA, vacation or sick days left then they do not have to give you any time off.
