Are You Prepared for Pregnancy & Parental Leave Compliance?
When an employee announces they’re expecting, are you confident in managing pregnancy disability leave, accommodations, and child-bonding time? California’s leave laws are complex—don’t risk costly mistakes.
Who Should Attend?
HR professionals, legal counsel, business owners, and anyone managing employee leaves and accommodations.
Webinar Description
For an employer, learning an employee is expecting a child raises a host of legal obligations, such as notifying employees of leave rights, providing accommodations during pregnancy, managing pregnancy disability leave and the employee’s return to work, and providing child-bonding leave. In fact, pregnancy disability leave can create one of the most complex and frequently misunderstood interactions of California and federal leave laws!
Knowing what to expect when your employee is expecting can help you be prepared for the legal issues that may arise and ensure a positive experience for both your employee and the company.
This webinar will guide you through the rules that apply to your California employees when they are pregnant and need accommodations and/or leave, as well as when they request time off for child-bonding, and is designed to help you confidently and effectively manage those accommodation and leave requests.
This webinar covers:
- Leave requirements under California’s Pregnancy Disability Leave (PDL) law, the California Family Rights Act (CFRA), and the Federal Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA), including how PDL, CFRA and FMLA interact with each other during pregnancy and after childbirth.
- Wage replacement benefits available to employees on leave.
- Providing accommodations to pregnant employees under PDL and the federal Pregnant Workers Fairness Act (PWFA).
- Returning employees to work and responding to lactation accommodation requests.
