This series of training programs on Family Care and Medical Leave in California will examine compensation while on leave, continuation of benefits while on leave, employer’s prohibited actions under the CFRA, employee’s return to work policies, and more.
Also codified in 1993, the California Family Rights Act (Gov. Code §12945.2)- known as the “CFRA” is California’s version of the FMLA. Sometimes referred to as the “Moore-Brown-Roberti Family Rights Act,” the CFRA is part of California’s Fair Employment and Housing Act- known as the “FEHA”- and is enforced by the California Civil Rights Department.
The CFRA and the FMLA differ in many ways, and California employers must be familiar with the requirements for each. In some cases the CFRA is more generous with the rights it affords employees, but in other cases the FMLA is more generous and also more expansive than the CFRA.
