Desafortunadamente, los empleados pueden ser despedidos mientras est\u00e1n en licencia FMLA. Sin embargo, los empleadores deben seguir ciertas reglas antes de despedir a un empleado en licencia protegida, y su incumplimiento de estas normas podr\u00eda constituir una infracci\u00f3n legal.<\/p>\n

\u00bfQu\u00e9 es la FMLA?<\/h2>\n

La Ley de Licencia M\u00e9dica Familiar (FMLA) es una ley federal que permite a algunos empleados tomar hasta 12 semanas de licencia sin pago por a\u00f1o debido a problemas m\u00e9dicos personales o para cuidar a seres queridos.<\/a> Solo los empleados que trabajan para empresas con 50 o m\u00e1s empleados y que han trabajado durante un m\u00ednimo de 12 meses y al menos 1.250 horas durante los 12 meses inmediatamente anteriores podr\u00e1n ser elegibles para el permiso FMLA.<\/p>\n

Reglas que los empleadores deben cumplir<\/h2>\n

La FMLA protege el estado laboral del empleado hasta que vuelva a trabajar. Esto significa que el empleador normalmente no puede despedir, degradar o trasladar al empleado mientras este est\u00e1 de baja.<\/a><\/p>\n

Sin embargo, la FMLA no protege el empleo de un empleado en todas las situaciones. Si el empleador tiene una raz\u00f3n leg\u00edtima y no discriminatoria para despedir al empleado (en otras palabras, si el empleado habr\u00eda sido despedido independientemente de si hab\u00eda tomado licencia bajo la FMLA), entonces el empleador puede despedirlo antes de que regrese. Por ejemplo, si el empleador descubre que el empleado ha cometido una conducta indebida, o si el empleador decide cerrar toda la divisi\u00f3n del empleado, el empleado podr\u00eda ser despedido mientras en el permiso FMLA<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u00bfQu\u00e9 deber\u00eda hacer si me despiden mientras estoy de licencia FMLA?<\/h2>\n

Los empleados que son despedidos mientras est\u00e1n en licencia FMLA deben preguntar a sus empleadores por qu\u00e9 fueron despedidos. Si el empleador se niega a compartir la raz\u00f3n de la despedida, o si la raz\u00f3n parece sospechosa, el empleado debe contactar a Abogado experimentados en empleo<\/a> para discutir la situaci\u00f3n y determinar si el empleado tiene alg\u00fan recurso legal contra el empleador. Si el empleador viol\u00f3 la FMLA, el empleado podr\u00eda obtener la restituci\u00f3n del salario y otros da\u00f1os del empleador.<\/p>\n
