Webinar Description
Do you have five or more employees? California employees who are pregnant and/or new parents are entitled to certain rights and protections, including unpaid, job-protected leaves of absence. Knowing which laws apply when — and how they interact — can understandably feel like a monumental task.
California’s Pregnancy Disability Leave (PDL) applies to employers with five or more employees and requires that a pregnant employee be allowed up to four months of job-protected leave when disabled by pregnancy. Pregnant employees may also be entitled to various accommodations under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and the Fair Employment and Housing Act (FEHA), including an additional leave of absence for those who have exhausted their PDL leave.
The California Family Rights Act (CFRA), which also applies to employers with five or more employees, provides new parents up to 12 weeks of unpaid job-protected leave to bond with a new child (“baby bonding leave”). Similarly, the federal Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) applies to employers with 50 or more employees and provides up to 12 weeks of unpaid job-protected baby bonding leave.
That’s a lot to digest, isn’t it?
