Employment: FMLA case involving former casino employee who had approved FMLA leave due to a back condition. Employee was entitled to 480 hours of leave per year, and was often close to the limit due to her disabling problems. However, several months prior to termination, despite having .5 hours left, she was given "points" ---then reversed to a personal day off--but was still written up. Thereafter, she was terminated although she had 15 hours of FMLA left. The employer indicated to the employee that a rolling calendar year per the FMLA was 365 + 1 day when the FMLA text gives an opposite example. The employer insisted she had no time left and gave her points for 2 unexcused absences. The client kept meticulous records, yet the employer could produce no records supporting its termination for attendance. The employer's counsel attempted to use "advice of counsel" as a defense that it acted in good faith. However, we argued that this advice of counsel was not very good since the plain language of the FMLA gave an example for calculating FMLA time that closely resembled the case facts at hand. Employee sought back pay, front pay and attorneys fees. The case was settled.
