Summary
Under the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA), your husband is entitled to unpaid leave without a pay cut, and his employer must maintain his health benefits. Since he is salaried and making up the hours, he shouldnt face a pay cut. For Illinois Human Rights Act (IHRA) issues, you might have a case for pregnancy discrimination. You can file a complaint with the Illinois Department of Human Rights (IDHR) or consult a local employment lawyer for tailored advice. Legal fees vary, but many employment lawyers offer free consultations and work on a contingency basis. Potential outcomes may include reinstatement of full benefits and pay, compensation for lost wages, and damages for discrimination.Full Conversation
