Pregnancy Disability Leave (PDL) Rights
California PDL guarantees up to 4 months of job-protected leave for employees disabled by pregnancy or childbirth. Employers must maintain health benefits and reinstate employees to their original position upon return.
California Family Rights Act (CFRA) Baby Bonding
Eligible employees are entitled to an additional 12 weeks of job-protected CFRA leave for baby bonding. Terminating an employee taking CFRA leave constitutes illegal retaliation.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can my employer fire me while I am on maternity leave?
No. Terminating an employee while on approved PDL or CFRA leave is illegal unless the employer can prove an independent business necessity (such as a company-wide layoff).
