FAQ
FMLA and CFRA legislation allow eligible workers to take unpaid, job-protected leave for childbirth, major health issues, or caring for a family member with a serious illness.
FMLA/CFRA leave requires employment for a covered employer, 1,250 hours in the 12 months prior, and a worksite with 50 or more employees within 75 miles. Please request leave for a good reason.
FMLA/CFRA enables qualified workers 12 weeks of unpaid, job-protected absence each year for acceptable reasons. The usual group health insurance terms apply to this leave.
Employment termination for FML is illegal.
If you believe your FMLA/CFRA rights have been violated, document the incidents and gather any evidence, such as emails or correspondence with your employer. Consult with an experienced FMLA lawyer to discuss your case and explore your legal options. They can help you file a complaint and seek the necessary remedies.
