Protecting Your Right to Take Family or Medical Leave in California

 

If you need to take time off from work to recover from a serious health condition or to care for a family member who has a serious health condition, you may be protected by a law known as the Family Medical Leave Act (FMLA). The California Family Rights Act is a California law that provides similar, but better, protection. The CFRA and FMLA do not protect all employees. In order to fall under the CFRA or FMLA your employer must have more than so employees, you must have been employed 1250 or more hours during the year before your new leave and not have taken more than 12 weeks of CFRA/FMLA during the last year.
