Marcia S. Cohen, P.A

The federal Family and Medical Leave Act allows employees who have been employed for the preceding 12 months to take up to 12 weeks of unpaid leave for a severe health condition or care for a parent, spouse, or child with a severe health condition. The law guarantees that the employee's job will be waiting for them upon timely return from leave.

When the state agency denies unemployment compensation because the employer claims the employee committed work-related misconduct or quit without fault on the employer's part, an appeal of the denial must be taken within 20 days after the denial is mailed. A hearing is then set, and the case will be heard by an appeals referee, generally by telephone.
