Roan Callister (RC) — Editor-in-Chief, Employment Law & FMLA Litigation Practice

Roan Callister leads editorial oversight for fmlaviolationcalc.com. With a background in employment law paralegal work and a focus on federal leave law litigation, Roan has spent over a decade supporting employment attorneys through FMLA retaliation and interference cases, ADA accommodation disputes, and Title VII discrimination matters. That litigation support experience — reviewing FMLA designation records, tracking circuit court developments on the good faith defense, and monitoring DOL guidance updates — informs the editorial standards applied to every page on this site.

Roan reviews the calculator methodology for consistency with current FMLA case law and statutory requirements, monitors regulatory changes from the Department of Labor that affect the model’s assumptions, and edits all guide content for accuracy and appropriate scope. A persistent emphasis in Roan’s editorial work: clearly communicating the boundary between information that helps employees understand their rights and advice that should come from a licensed employment attorney.

Sierra Fullerton (SF) — Contributing Writer, Employment Claims & Workplace Rights Research

Sierra Fullerton contributes research and writing for fmlaviolationcalc.com, focusing on the practical mechanics of FMLA claims: eligibility analysis, violation identification, the damages framework under 29 U.S.C. § 2617, filing options (DOL complaint vs. direct federal suit), and the interplay between federal FMLA protections and state leave laws. Sierra’s research background spans published employment law reviews, federal circuit court surveys on FMLA liquidated damages, and DOL enforcement data on FMLA compliance.

Sierra writes the guide content and FAQ responses, with an emphasis on making procedurally complex material — filing deadlines, notice obligations, intermittent leave designation — accessible to employees without legal training. All content is reviewed by Roan Callister before publication.
