Legal Case Study: FMLA Violation

Decent Essays
Show More
The action taken by Jim was wrongful (or in violation) of the FMLA (Family Leave and Medical Leave Act). This is because the FMLA states that
“As long as you are able to return to work before you exhaust your FMLA leave, you must be returned to the same job (or one nearly identical to it).” (FMLA (n.d.), p. 8). It was not adequate (or legal) to just give Gavin a position with the same salary, bonuses, etc.

    Through the OSHA and the workers’ compensation laws, Beverly Tull has the right to file a claim with the board to be able to get a compensation and surgery for her injury. She fulfilled the two requirements of the workers’ compensation laws which are the existence of an employment relationship and that the injury itself resulted from the job or course of employment (Miller, 2015, pp. 656).

    Eileen Foster Case: The Department Of Labor's Case

    During Eileen Foster’s tenure with Countrywide and Bank of America, she internally investigated the organization and any fraud activity that she witnessed. Foster explains that while she did uncover several cases or instances of fraud, she also followed up her findings by informing and warning executives of the fraud she had uncovered (Benoit, 2011). It appears that Foster followed the duties and responsibilities of her job title and informed the necessary parties of the activities she has witnessed. Due to these facts, I would have to support the Department of Labor’s decision on this case. Some of Ms. Foster’s claims include the “forgery of loan documents, manipulation of borrowers’ assets and income, manipulation of the company’s automated…

    Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA)

    It is up to employers to determine whether to classify an employee as exempt or nonexempt under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA). The key considerations of this classification are exempt workers are not eligible for overtime pay rather they are paid for the job they do, not the hours they worked. Nonexempt employees are covered by the FLSA’s minimum wage and overtime pay laws. An employee who is paid on an hourly basis is usually considered to be nonexempt, regardless of the hourly rate paid. Employees commonly classified as nonexempt include clerical, maintenance, construction, mechanics, and semiskilled workers, as well as technicians and laborers.…
