LeaveSource™ – Industry Leading FMLA Software

California Medical Leave Act is a term that involves three different pieces of legislation;   the federal Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA), the California Family Rights Act (CFRA) and the California Pregnancy Disability Leave Act (PDL). Combined these Act’s provide qualified California employees with some of the best leave benefits in the country. Employee and employer qualifications are similar for FMLA and CFRA by design. However, CFRA includes leave coverage for a qualified domestic partner to be cared for, as well as newborn bonding and FMLA does not. FMLA covers pregnancy disability, but CFRA does not. Under the right circumstances, a full-time employee can qualify for almost 30 weeks of un-paid, but job-protected leave, within the California Medical Leave Act.

The California Medical Leave Act is an amalgamation of Acts and requirements causing a growing number of covered employers a great deal of concern or even consternation. Some of the reasons can be traced to reports from the Department of Labor indicating a planned increase in the number of FMLA-related audits and investigations, or legal publications highlighting the rising cost of FMLA lawsuit defense, regardless of case outcome, and the increasing number of six to eight-figure judgments being passed down to employers found to be in violation of regulations within components of the California Medical Leave Act.
