Case: Wage & Hour/FMLA Retaliation (7th Cir.)

The United States Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit affirmed summary judgment for Ascension Health Alliance on Family and Medical Leave Act interference and retaliation claims brought by a female human resources specialist who was terminated after failing to return to work when her continuous FMLA leave expired, finding that she was not entitled to retroactively report FMLA leave after termination, failed to report absences “as soon as practicable” as required by regulations, and presented no evidence that her termination was motivated by anything other than her unexcused absence from work.
