What if it\u2019s your child, spouse, partner, or parent? What if it\u2019s your brother or sister? Do you need to resign or is your job protected? Both federal and California labor laws offer protection to qualifying workers, but your employer may not make it as clear as they should. <a href=\"https:\/\/shegerianconniff.com\/dev\/\">Shegerian Conniff<\/a> is here to help you understand the laws you need to know when it comes to your rights.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Take a Closer Look at FMLA<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">FMLA stands for Family and Medical Leave Act. It\u2019s a rule set forth by the U.S. Department of Labor. FMLA entitles qualified workers to take up to 12 weeks of unpaid leave for family and medical reasons without losing their job or group health insurance offered by their employer. This 12-week unpaid leave covers:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Birth of a child and care for the newborn during the first year of his or her life.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Adoption of a child or a foster care child\u2019s adjustment period<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Care for a seriously ill spouse, child, or parent<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Emergency needs if a spouse, adult child, or parent is in the military and placed on active duty.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If a qualifying servicemember is seriously injured or ill, 26 weeks of leave is available through military caregiver leave laws.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You qualify for FMLA as long as you\u2019ve worked for the employer for a full 12 months and have worked at least 1,250 hours in that time. You also must work for an employer that has 50 or more employees within 75 miles.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your employer is required to post a general notice about FMLA in an area that is easily viewed and give you a pamphlet or letter that repeats what is on the general notice. The notice you\u2019re handed must include information regarding your rights and responsibilities. If a large percentage of the workforce doesn\u2019t speak fluent English, the notices must be in other languages.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Compare That to CFRA<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">CFRA stands for the California Family Rights Act. If you\u2019re eligible, you receive up to 12 weeks of unpaid leave to care for yourself when you\u2019re <a href=\"https:\/\/shegerianconniff.com\/dev\/practice_areas\/cancer-discrimination\/\">seriously ill<\/a>, care for a family member or \u201cdesignated person\u201d with a serious health issue, or bond with a new child (born to you or adopted by you). Your job is protected for all of those 12 weeks.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In terms of who qualifies for caring for someone else, it can be a blood relative like a cousin, aunt\/uncle, sibling, child, spouse, or best friend who is like family. It can also be an unmarried partner, in-law, or grandparent.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It also provides anyone who is pregnant, has given birth, or has a pregnancy-related medication condition (miscarriage, stillbirth, failed adoption\/surrogacy, or unsuccessful assisted reproduction such as an unsuccessful embryo transfer) with unpaid, job-protected leave or special accommodations. Finally, the law requires all eligible employees to receive up to five days of bereavement leave when certain family members pass away. Those family members are:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your spouse or domestic partner<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your child<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your parent or parent-in-law<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your sibling<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your grandparent<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your grandchild<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How do you know if you\u2019re eligible for CFRA? You must have worked for your employer for at least 12 months (1,250 hours in that year). You need to provide as much advance notice as you can. There is an exception to this, however. Any female employee, even part-time workers, is allowed pregnancy disability leave (PDL) from the date of hire as long as the company has at least five employees. You may be required to provide a note from a doctor or medical professional in order to prove there is a serious illness or other valid reason for the paid leave.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There\u2019s another thing to know about PDL in California, you can take it before or after giving birth and up to four months are available. You are asked to provide at least 30 days&#8217; notice before requesting PDL, but if that\u2019s not possible, provide as much notice as you can. You may be required to take all sick leave first, but your employer cannot force you to use your vacation time. Your insurance coverage is also protected during this time.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Ins and Outs of Disability Insurance, Employee Leave, and Paid Family Leave Laws<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Other coverages some workers have are paid family leave (PFL) and disability insurance (DI). Paid family leave allows for up to 8 weeks of paid time off for three reasons. You\u2019re caring for a family member with a severe illness, bonding with a new child, or having a family member in the military who is being deployed to another country.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Disability insurance offers up to 52 weeks (one year) of paid benefits when you cannot work due to a non-work-related illness, injury, or <a href=\"https:\/\/shegerianconniff.com\/dev\/practice_areas\/breast-feeding-violations\/\">pregnancy\/childbirth.<\/a> Neither DI nor PFL protects your job, however. If you take these paid leaves, your job could be at risk. That\u2019s why it\u2019s important that you understand the differences between these options and CFRA and FMLA. Your employer may require you to take CFRA and FMLA at the same time that PFL or DI is covering your lost wages.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Is Your Company Misinforming You?<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Has your company followed the laws when it comes to explaining medical leave to you? Were you given misinformation? It happens. There are a lot of rules to follow when it comes to unpaid medical leave and paid medical leave. Human resources workers can make mistakes, and you have the right to correct them. If they still refuse to cover your time away for a medical emergency or illness, talk to a lawyer.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Some of the most common medical leave violations include the following.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Talking a worker out of taking FMLA, CFRA, or both.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Stating if the employees take the time off, it will harm their career or chances for a promotion.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Convincing a worker they don\u2019t qualify for benefits when they do.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Denying the leave, even if a medical letter or documentation is provided.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Manipulating work hours to avoid having to provide CFRA or FMLA.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Refusing to return the worker to the position they held before their leave.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Engaging in retaliation or harassment when the worker returns.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Urging a worker to work from home or come in for a quick meeting while on leave.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You can file a complaint with California\u2019s Civil Rights Department if the complaint is related to CFRA. The U.S. Department of Labor\u2019s Wage and Hour Division enforces FMLA laws. You can file these complaints on your own, but you may find it necessary to<a href=\"https:\/\/shegerianconniff.com\/dev\/contact-our-employment-law-firm-shegerian-conniff\/\"> contact an employment law specialist<\/a> in California to get clear answers and advice on the next steps to take.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you\u2019re sick and need to take several weeks off to recover, what happens with your job?
