Family, Medical, and Pregnancy Disability Leave
for Employees in California
The California Family Rights Act (CFRA) provides eligible employees with up to 12 weeks of unpaid, job-protected leave
to care for their own serious health condition or a family member with a serious health condition, or to bond with a
new child. Recent legislation, effective January 1, 2021, expands CFRA in several major respects. In addition, California
law requires covered employers to provide employees disabled by pregnancy, childbirth, or a related medical condition
with unpaid, job-protected leave (PDL) and/or accommodations. Learn more about these rights in the resources below.
