Representation That Protects Your Business And Your Budget

FMLA And Disability Attorney In St. Louis

The Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) allows you to take the time you need to spend with your family in important moments, without it hurting your career. FMLA and the Americans with Disability Act work together to make careers more open to more people. However, in my time as an FMLA and disability law lawyer, I’ve had to help my clients take action to secure what they deserve under the law.

My name is Susan Nell Rowe, and I have decades of experience in employment law as an attorney for employees. I’ve spent time in large law firms, working for some of the biggest companies, and now I work for people facing difficult legal challenges at my own firm, Rowe Law Office, LLC. Utilizing your entitled FMLA rights should not impact your working life.

What Are Your Rights To Accommodation And Leave?

The two federal laws that outline an individual worker’s right to accommodations are FMLA and the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). These two laws work in tandem to provide a host of rights to workers:

  • FMLA: FMLA allows for up to 12 weeks of unpaid leave for anyone needing medical care or anyone who has had a child or anyone who must care for a sick relative. You cannot be fired and the use of this leave cannot be the basis for disciplinary action.
  • ADA: Anyone with a disability must receive reasonable accommodation in order for them to perform their work duties. These accommodations can be workstation modifications, installing accessibility features or even modifying work schedules.

Both laws go even further protecting you from discrimination based on use of pregnancy leave or disability status. These protections are robust on the federal level and supported at the state level under the Missouri Human Rights Act.
