The key is negotiating a settlement with your employer. You have multiple issues. I would not spend money on litigation at this point. I would first start with negotiations with the employer to see if there might be a middle ground that makes sense for both the employer and employee. There are merits to both sides of the argument. You had the settlement offer in 2012. You have the FMLA issue. The employer has the two-year passage of time and the ability to outspend you. Please call if you would like us to negotiate on your behalf. 732–797–1600. Ed Dimon
