Most California employers must give most of their workers sick leave along with other paid and unpaid leave, and state rules often exceed federal minimums. This 60-minute California paid sick leave webinar explains what employers need to know.
You'll cover California paid sick leave, extended unpaid leave under the California Family Rights Act (CFRA) and the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA), pregnancy disability leave, alcohol and drug rehabilitation leave, and disability leave under FEHA and the ADA.
The session also covers meeting accommodation requirements, leave of absence policies and practices, and the guidelines that apply when you choose to offer vacation, including accrual.
