Handling California's Leave of Absence and Paid Time Off Laws

California has more mandatory leaves of absence and rules about vacation, sick leave and paid time off than any other state. To avoid costly litigation, employers must be aware of when a leave is available to an employee, what rights must be provided to the employee, and what employee obligations can be enforced. Employers also must be familiar with the applicable sick leave rules, vacation requirements, and how to apply paid time off to absences.

In this informative seminar, employment law attorney Karen L. Gabler of LightGabler will discuss California's mandatory leaves of absence. Topics covered will include:

Which leaves must be provided to employees
Eligibility standards for each leave
Documentation of absence
Reinstatement requirements
Insurance requirements
New Parent Leave for 2018
The interplay between PDL, NPL, PFL, FMLA, CFRA and SDI
Disability, pregnancy, baby bonding, family leave
Injured or ill family members and domestic partners
The relationship between WC, FEHA and ADA
Bereavement, jury/witness duty, school visits, domestic violence and time off to vote
Mandated and voluntary benefits during a leave of absence

NOTE: These programs will focus solely on leaves of absence and related benefits.
