About fmlaviolationcalc.com

fmlaviolationcalc.com is a free employment law reference resource maintained by The Click Lab. Our calculator and guides help employees and their families understand FMLA rights, recognize FMLA violations when they occur, estimate potential damages recovery, and understand the practical steps for protecting those rights and pursuing remedies.

What we do

We translate the Family and Medical Leave Act’s complex statutory and regulatory framework into plain-English calculators and guides. The FMLA’s eligibility requirements, leave calculation methods, employer notice obligations, damage framework, and interaction with state leave laws involve layers of federal regulation that most employees have never had occasion to study. Our goal is to give employees enough knowledge to understand what the law provides, recognize when it may have been violated, and have an informed conversation with an employment attorney about their options.

Every page is reviewed by our editorial team before publication, updated when regulatory or case law changes affect accuracy, and grounded in the actual statutory and regulatory text of the FMLA and its implementing regulations at 29 C.F.R. Part 825. Calculator methodology is documented in full on the methodology page.

What we don’t do

We do not provide legal advice. FMLA law is highly fact-specific, and whether a particular employer action constitutes a violation depends on details the calculator cannot assess — the specific facts of the leave request and employer response, the applicable circuit’s interpretation of the statute, and strategic considerations about how to pursue a claim. If you believe your FMLA rights have been violated, consult a licensed employment attorney in your state. Many employment attorneys handle FMLA cases on contingency — meaning no fee unless you recover — which makes legal representation accessible regardless of financial situation.
