Leave of Absence Violations
California Employees Have The Right To Take An Unpaid Leave of Absence In Many Circumstances
Disability Leave
California law requires employers with at least 5 employees to provide unpaid medical leave to accommodate employees who are temporarily unable to work due to a mental or physical disability.
FMLA/CFRA Leave
California law requires employers with at least 50 employees within 75 miles to provide their employees up to 12 weeks of unpaid leave when they are temporarily unable to work due to a serious health condition, or to care for a family member with a serious health condition. To be eligible for FMLA/CFRA leave, an employee must have worked at least 1,250 hours for the employer during the previous 12-month period.
Pregnancy Disability Leave
California law requires employers with at least 5 employees to provide employees up to 4 months of unpaid leave when they are temporarily unable to work due to pregnancy, childbirth, or a related medical condition.
Parental Leave
California law requires employers with at least 20 employees within 75 miles to provide their employees at least 12 weeks of unpaid parental leave (i.e., maternity or paternity leave) within one year of a child's birth, adoption, or foster care placement. To be eligible for parental leave, an employee must have worked at least 1,250 hours for the employer during the previous 12-month period.
