The Family & Medical Leave Act, California Family Rights Act & Pregnancy Disability Leave: Managing Employee Leave & Possible Abuse

Speaker

Instructor: Diane L Dee
Product ID: 706515

Location
  • Duration: 75 Min
In the state of California, employers often struggle with abuse and fraud of protected leaves of absence as those granted by the Family & Medical Leave Act (FMLA), the California Family Rights Act (CFRA), and the Pregnancy Disability Leave Act (PDL). Employers feel uncertain how they can avoid complex leave of absence issues while protecting their own financial and business needs. The overlap between these pieces of legislation is often confusing and seemingly complicated. All three pieces of legislation provide ways in which an employer can identify an employee’s need for leave while vigilantly remaining alert to potential leave abuse.
