The US Department of Labor’s Wage and Hour Division found AMG Physical Rehab violated the Family and Medical Leave Act by denying a key employee’s request for medical leave and subsequently terminated her. Key employees are covered by FMLA and are eligible to receive leave under the Act. AMG Physical Rehab also failed to provide required notices on FMLA eligibility, rights, and responsibilities to the employee. The division’s investigations led to a recovery of $8,967 in back wages and $8,967 in liquidated damages.
