Managing medical leave in California means knowing where state law goes beyond federal law. This 60-minute webinar reviews the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) and explains how it differs, in important ways, from the California Family Rights Act (CFRA) and Pregnancy Disability Leave (PDL), with an overview of the California Fair Employment and Housing Act (FEHA).
California's leave laws are often more generous than federal rules. You'll compare the laws side by side, learn HR's role in managing leaves of absence in California, and get tips for compliance and for spotting potential problem areas.
WHY SHOULD YOU ATTEND?
Any employer that does business in California or has employees there needs to understand these differences. Non-compliance can bring heavy fines and damage legal standing, employee relations and the employer brand. Supervisors and managers need training too.
This session suits HR professionals and managers and supervisors of employees in California.
