Leaves of Absence
Leave rights are confusing, contradictory and, at times, illogical. Leaves are mandated pursuant to numerous statutes including: the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), Family Medical Leave Act (FMLA), California Family Rights Act (CFRA), Pregnancy Disability Leave (PDL), Fair Employment and Housing Act (FEHA), and the California Civil Codes and Labor Code. Cook Brown counsels employers daily on complying with leave obligations and ensuring employer polices are appropriate and practicable.
