LeaveSource™ – Industry Leading FMLA Software
California family medical leave is made available by two different legislative acts. The first is the federal Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) and the second is the California Family Rights Act (CFRA). Combined, these legislative measures give qualified California employees some of the best leave benefits in the country, particularly in the case of pregnancy, when California Pregnancy Disability Leave is added to the mix. Employee and employer qualifications are similar between FMLA and CFRA, but California’s Pregnancy Disability Leave (PDL) potentially makes more time available and decrements concurrently with FMLA, not so with CFRA. So as an example, a mother could take twelve weeks of qualified FMLA and PDL leave for her pregnancy and still have 12 weeks of CFRA remaining for bonding with the California Family Medical Leave package.
California family medical leave is an important consideration for many covered employers in the state. Certainly reports that the Department of Labor is increasing the annual number and frequency of audits, inquiries, and investigations is a contributing factor, as well as almost nightly newscasts regarding the increasing number of large dollar judgments being awarded due to a negligent employer’s improper handling of FMLA requirements. And the increasing cost of FMLA lawsuit defense, win or lose, has focused a great deal of employer attention on compliance with California family medical leave requirements.
