Do I have to wait a certain amount of time before quitting after returning from FMLA (to avoid employer clawbacks)?
I have just returned from FMLA and would like to resign. Are there any negative consequences to quitting now? Or should I wait?
If your employer paid your insurance premiums while you were on FMLA leave and you do not return from that leave, you can be required to pay back the money paid by your employer for your insurance.
Good luck to you.

There is nothing wrong with leaving after returning from an FLMA leave. One word of warning, many of my clients give their employer, two weeks notice, then are shocked when the employer fires them on the date of their resignation. They simply do not want someone working for them who is going to leave in a short period of time.
Some of this depends on what type of job you have. If you have a high paying job, it actually becomes more likely you will be fired on the day you resign. They will worry about you stealing Trade secrets weren't doing something to sabotage their business.
Keep in mind I am not giving you perfect legal advice. Your question is deceptively simple and the factual context may affect the answer. Your best bet is to call an employment lawyer. Most employment lawyers will speak to you on the phone free of charge.
This answer is a general interpretation of the law and is not fact specific to your case. Likewise it does not create an attorney-client relationship. You should seek an attorney for a review of your specific facts and documents.
