Termechi Employment Law Fights to Protect Workers’ Rights to Family, Medical, and Pregnancy Leave

California employers must, by law, allow their employees certain legally protected forms of leave. If they refuse to grant such leave or punish an employee for taking such leave, they are subject to liability under a variety of California and Federal laws.

There are a several laws that protect employees’ rights to take medical leave without fear of job termination. The California Family Rights Act (CFRA) and the federal Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) are the two main statutes dealing with medical leave in California. The California Pregnancy Disability Leave (PDL), New Parent Leave Act, California Fair Employment and Housing Act (FEHA), and the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) also include provisions regarding medical leave.

Some of the rights to take leave under these laws include:

• The right to care for a sick family member.
• The right to take leave to heal from a serious medical condition.
• The right to paid sick leave (once an employee has worked at least 30 days within the year, and after the 90-day waiting period).
• The right to leave due to pregnancy, childbirth, or a related condition.
• The right to up to four months of leave for pregnancy or related disability.
• The right to take medical leave to bond with a new child.
• The right to bond with a new child for up to 12 weeks if the employer has 20 to 49 employees.
• The right to take leave for the introduction of an adopted or foster child.
• The right to handle practical matters due to a family member’s military service.
• The right to up to 10 days of unpaid leave while a spouse is on military deployment during a period of conflict.
• The right to take up to 26 weeks off to care for a spouse, child, or parent who suffered illness or injury while serving in the military.
• The right to take time off to care for a domestic partner or child of a domestic partner.
