Description

California has more mandatory leaves of absence than any other state. To maintain business operations and avoid costly litigation, employers must understand when a leave is available to an employee, what rights must be provided to the employee, and what employee obligations can be enforced.

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

When is my employee entitled to a leave of absence?
Eligibility standards for each leave
Documentation of absence
Notice requirements
Reinstatement requirements
The interplay between PDL, 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 and witness duty, school visits, crime victims, voting and more
COVID-19 quarantines
Mandatory and voluntary benefits during a leave of absence
