Case: Wage & Hour/FMLA Retaliation (D.N.J.)

A New Jersey federal district court granted Ashland, LLC’s motion to dismiss a lead scientist’s claims of retaliation under the Americans with Disabilities Act and New Jersey Law Against Discrimination, and interference and retaliation claims under the Family and Medical Leave Act, finding that the scientist with an ankle injury requiring accommodations had no right to reinstatement under the FMLA because she couldn’t perform essential job functions without accommodation, and she failed to plausibly allege causation between her protected activities and the adverse employment actions.
