The Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) and the California Family Rights Act (CFRA) allows eligible employees to take up to a total of twelve (12) weeks, per calendar year, of paid or unpaid job-protected leave. While an employee is on approved FMLA/CFRA leave, the employee's health, dental and vision benefits are maintained.
To be eligible for FMLA/CFRA leave, a full-time employee must have been employed for a total of twelve (12) months and physically worked 1,250 hours in the year preceding the date on which the FMLA/CFRA leave is to commence.
The purpose of FMLA /CFRA is to allow eligible employees to take a job-protected leave for these reasons:
- When the employee is unable to work because of a serious health condition.
- To care for an immediate family member (spouse, child or parent) with a serious health condition.
- The birth or adoption of a child or foster care placement of a child.
