Virtual Seminar Unravels Complex Leaves of Absence

Can an employee who calls in sick using their California paid sick leave just two minutes before their shift be penalized for lack of notice? Is paid family leave a protected leave of absence? If an employer is covered by both the federal Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) and the California Family Rights Act (CFRA), will the two types of leave always run at the same time? Managing leaves of absence can be complicated, but CalChamber’s upcoming Leaves of Absence virtual seminar — held on May 30 and 31 — can help.

Our employment law experts will unravel both common and difficult-to-resolve leave administration challenges. For instance, if an employee has exhausted all their CFRA/FMLA leave, can they request additional time off as an accommodation? How does California’s new reproductive loss leave interact with other leaves of absence?

To avoid penalties or costly litigation, it’s essential to understand all required leaves of absence, plus any overlapping California and federal legal requirements.
