Minneapolis Family And Medical Leave Act Attorneys
Life is unpredictable. Sometimes, family situations and medical conditions make it impossible to continue working without taking a leave of absence. Fortunately, many employees are protected by the Family and Medical Leave Act.
At LeBlanc Law & Mediation, a Minneapolis, Minnesota, employment law firm, we advise clients on their rights under FMLA and provide zealous representation when employers infringe on those rights.

The Family and Medical Leave Act provides eligible employees with twelve weeks of unpaid leave in a 12-month period for a variety of reasons, including:
- The birth of a child
- Adoption of a child
- Becoming a foster parent
- A serious health condition
- Caring for a spouse, child or parent with a serious health condition
- Caring for a spouse, child or parent that is a military service member
During the time that the employee is on leave, his or her job is protected if:
- He or she has worked for the employer for 12 months
- He or she has worked for at least 1,250 hours during the 12 months preceding the leave
- The private-sector employer has had at least 50 or more employees in the preceding calendar year or is a public agency
