Champions Of Working Parents’ Rights
Being a working parent is hard. Balancing work and family is a difficult struggle. It can feel impossible when your employer does not respect your legal rights.
Since 1994, the woman-owned firm of Fiedler Law Firm, P.L.C., has helped workers throughout Iowa and Nebraska. Our employment law attorneys empower working parents whose lives have been disrupted by workplace mistreatment. We focus on supporting your whole family. We even have a playroom and a lactation room for your children.
Use Your Unpaid Leave For Medical Or Family Issues
The Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) is a law that gives you up to 12 weeks of unpaid leave. Qualifying employees can use FMLA to take care of family or medical issues. Many employers provide unpaid leave for medical or family reasons, including:
- Caring for a sick child
- Birth of a child
- Adoption of a child
- Your own illness
However, some employers may deny these rights. If your employer refuses to grant you FMLA leave, we can help. Our employment lawyers will fight to enforce your legal rights. We work to ensure you receive the family leave and medical leave you deserve.
Enforce Your Right To Pump Milk At Work
The Providing Urgent Maternal Protections (PUMP) Act protects the rights of nursing mothers. The PUMP Act requires employers to provide reasonable break time for pumping and a private place for pumping, which cannot be a bathroom.
We understand the importance of maternity leave and supporting nursing mothers. If your employer violates your rights under the PUMP Act, we can help. We will fight to ensure you can pump milk in a safe and private space. We will address any discrimination you face. We can also help you understand your rights regarding short-term disability.
