Your employer cannot deny your request for paternity leave or retaliate against you for taking it. Additionally, they must reinstate you to your previous position when you return. If your employer refuses to grant leave, penalizes you for taking time off, or fails to reinstate you, you may have legal grounds for action. Contact us for a free consultation at (877) SUE-MY-BOSS.
