California Pregnancy and Medical Leave Rights

An employee's right to medical leave under the CFRA or the FMLA depends on several factors, including the reason for leave, the employee's length of service, the size of the employer and other circumstances. Our lawyers have a comprehensive understanding of California medical leave laws and can provide you with a full explanation of how these laws apply to you and your family.

The CFRA ensures male and female employees up to 12 weeks protected leave for the birth of a child, placement of a child in the employee's family for adoption or foster care, or a serious health condition of the employee's spouse, child or parent. Employers must also provide up to four months' pregnancy disability leave for a woman who is disabled due to pregnancy, childbirth or a related medical condition. Likewise, male employees are entitled to medical leave for their own serious health conditions.

Employees who have abided by the parameters set forth in California law regarding medical leave for pregnancy or other reasons are entitled to return to their previous position of employment or a comparable position. Employees are further protected under the law from retaliation, pregnancy harassment or pregnancy discrimination based on their leave or pregnancy.
