California law provides a rich, and oftentimes confusing, slate of parental leave entitlements. Understanding how they interact with one another is critical to balancing legal compliance with the effects that absenteeism can have on your workplace.

This topic provides a refresher on California Family Rights Act and pregnancy disability leaves, the State of California's State Disability Insurance and Paid Family Leave programs, and child care and school visitation leaves.

The material will also explore San Francisco's new (and newly-amended) Paid Parental Leave Ordinance and developments in the always-changing world of paid sick leave.
