How to Request Medical Leave + What You're Entitled To According To An Employment Lawyer


Listen Later

Today we’re discussing a topic that might be really intimidating—how to request medical leave. Many of us think of physical health as being the only reason why you can take medical leave but serious mental and emotional health conditions are absolutely included and something we need to talk about more. Julia Stephanides, a labor and employment lawyer, is joining us to share more about what your rights are as a worker, how to request medical leave, and what resources you’ll need. Julia is also sharing her incredible health journey.
