Job Protection for Family and Medical Leave

The Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) provides job protection for up to 12 weeks for bonding with a new child, caring for yourself or an eligible family member with a serious health condition, or attending to military-related events. To be eligible for FMLA, you must:

• Have worked for at least one year in the U.S.
• Have worked at least 1,250 hours within the last 12 months.

FMLA may run concurrently with other state laws and leave policies. Refer to U.S. Department of Labor’s FMLA guidelines for details.

The California Family Rights Act (CFRA) offers job protection for up to 12 weeks for bonding with a new child, caring for your own serious medical condition or that of an eligible family member, or attending to military-related events. CFRA often runs concurrently with other leave policies, such as Maternity Leave, Baby Bonding Leave, and Short-term Disability.
