Defense of FMLA Interference/Retaliation Case for Home Improvement Retailer

Client Type: Public Company

We won summary judgment in an FMLA interference/retaliation case for our client, a home improvement retailer. A former employee claimed that his termination soon after he indicated he would need back surgery violated the FMLA. The company explained that a disciplinary action was already “in the works” before the employee asked for leave and that the process, brought to its completion, resulted in his termination.
