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

Rainbow USA Inc. is entitled to summary judgment on a claim by a manager that he was discharged in retaliation for taking leave under the Family and Medical Leave Act, a federal district court in New York ruled. While he was told he was terminated on his first day back from leave, the undisputed facts show that the decision to fire him was made before he requested leave, the court said.
