Case: Wage & Hour/FMLA Retaliation (6th Cir.)

The United States Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit granted a female superintendent’s appeal and reversed the district court’s denial of her motion for leave to amend her complaint to add Family and Medical Leave Act retaliation and Title IX sex discrimination claims against Hamtramck Public Schools and the Hamtramck Federation of Teachers, finding that she plausibly alleged retaliation through temporal proximity between her FMLA leave and administrative leave placement, and sex discrimination through comparator evidence showing male predecessors were treated more favorably.
