Employment Law
$9,372,000 - Buron v. Concentra Health Services, Inc., et al. - Violation CFRA/FMLA Leave / Age Discrimination / Retaliation
Marilyn Buron, a 69-year-old certified hand therapist took a job-protected leave of absence to care for her adult disabled son. While on her leave of absence, Concentra, including some of its highest executives, decided to terminate her contract. She was replaced by a less qualified 28-year-old. When Ms. Buron returned to work, her contract was terminated and she was demoted to an “as-needed” position with no guaranteed schedule or salary. Concentra contended Ms. Buron had no interest in working a full-time schedule and suffered minimal disruption as she found a new job within 4 months. The jury awarded 1.56M in compensatory damages and 7.8M in punitive damages. Defendant made no offer to resolve the case before trial.
