Description

A salaried manager in the facility maintenance industry was demoted and removed from their position the day after requesting FMLA paperwork, despite requesting only intermittent leave. The individual, who is an amputee and continues to experience medical complications, believes the demotion constitutes retaliation for their FMLA request and potential disability discrimination. The case involves questions about whether the employer improperly interfered with FMLA rights and whether the adverse employment action was motivated by the employee's medical condition or leave request.
