Castronovo & McKinney, LLC, situated in Morristown, NJ, serves as dedicated advocates for protection against retaliation for employees who request flexible work arrangements. Flexible work arrangements, such as telecommuting, flexible hours, or compressed workweeks, have become increasingly common in today’s workforce, offering employees greater flexibility to balance work and personal responsibilities. However, employees who request or utilize flexible work arrangements may face retaliation from their employers or colleagues, which can have detrimental effects on their careers and well-being.
Retaliation for requesting flexible work arrangements can take various forms, including termination, demotion, reduced hours, denial of promotions or benefits, unfavorable work assignments, or harassment. Such retaliation not only violates employees’ rights but also undermines the benefits and flexibility that flexible work arrangements are intended to provide.
Castronovo & McKinney, LLC understands the importance of protecting employees who request flexible work arrangements and provides legal guidance, representation, and support to individuals who have experienced retaliation. They are well-versed in the laws and regulations that protect employees from retaliation, including provisions of the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA), the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), and other federal, state, and local laws that may apply.
One of the key challenges in advocating for protection against retaliation for requesting flexible work arrangements is overcoming misconceptions or biases about remote work or non-traditional work schedules. Employers may harbor concerns about productivity, accountability, or fairness when it comes to flexible work arrangements, leading to reluctance or resistance to accommodate employee requests.

Additionally, Castronovo & McKinney, LLC collaborates with employers to develop and implement policies and practices that promote fairness, flexibility, and support for employees who request flexible work arrangements.
