There are many different kinds of employee leaves in Los Angeles California. Here are some examples and or reason for hiring a Lawyer:
Sick leave (To care for certain family members who have a serious health condition)
Pregnancy leave (For the birth, adoption or foster care placement of a child)
Maternity or paternity leave to care for a newly born or adopted child
Medical leave to care for yourself or a family member
Disability leave
Military leave
Leave for jury duty
Workers compensation leave due to work-related injury
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.
