Can I receive compensation for wages or benefits lost due to FMLA violations?

In North Carolina, if you have been subjected to a violation of the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA), you may be eligible to receive compensation for wages or benefits lost due to the violation. Generally, this type of compensation is known as “back pay.” For example, if you have been terminated or disciplined due to taking time off under the FMLA, then you may be entitled to receive back pay for the lost wages or benefits. Additionally, if you have been denied leave under the FMLA, then you may also be entitled to receive back pay for any missed wages or benefits. Furthermore, if you have been denied leave and you ended up taking it anyway, you may be eligible for “make-whole relief” which is additional compensation for the lost wages or benefits. In short, if you have experienced a violation of the FMLA in North Carolina, then you may be eligible to receive back pay for any wages or benefits lost due to the violation. Therefore, it is important to contact an experienced labor lawyer who can better evaluate your situation and advise you on your options.
