Description
Once again, California employers enter the new year with another major new leave law with which to contend: the New Parent Leave Act. This session will cover details of the NPLA, as well as updates employers must make to their policies and leave forms to accommodate the new law. We will also cover key differences between the NPLA and FMLA/CFRA and why employers cannot simply rely on FMLA/CFRA policies and leave forms to comply with the NPLA (as well as why certain employers may now be covered by both the NPLA and FMLA/CFRA).
Although the majority of the session will be devoted to the NPLA, we will also cover recent court decisions involving additional leave issues including: How much is too much disability leave? ~How did a California employer interfere with an employee's leave for gender reassignment surgery? Finally, since sick leave compliance continues to be a hot topic, we will cover key issues to ensure compliance with the sick leave law.
Key Objectives:
1. Ensure compliance with California's New Parent Leave Act
2. Ensure forms and policies are up to date to comply with the NPLA
3. Identify other recent developments in California leave law
