Do I have to pay an employee while they're on child bonding leave?

Employers are not required to pay the employee while on child bonding leave under the federal Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) or California Family Rights Act (CFRA). However, an employee may apply for Paid Family Leave (PFL) benefits through the California Employment Development Department (EDD) and receive a partial wage replacement while on leave.

However, employers that fall under the City of San Francisco’s Paid Parental Leave Ordinance (PPLO) may have to pay eligible employees a portion of their wages during child bonding leave.

The PPLO requires covered employers to provide "supplemental compensation" to employees
