🚨 2080HR Compliance Alert: Is Your Company Prepared for Your Employees’ Leave of Absences?
Navigating the complexities of Leave of Absence (LOA) laws has never been more challenging—especially for companies operating across multiple states.
Does your company understand the difference between Job Protection vs Paid Leave and how they work together to support each employee’s Leave of Absence?
Key Compliance Risks
Leave of absence regulations differ widely across states, but California has been at the forefront of enacting new laws that add layers of complexity. For example:
- California Family Rights Act (CFRA): Expanded to cover employers with as few as five employees, with provisions for caring for additional family members.
- Paid Family Leave (PFL) Extension: Increased from 6 weeks to 8 weeks, providing more coverage for employees to bond with a new child or care for seriously ill family members.
- Bereavement Leave Law (AB 1949): Effective January 1, 2023, mandates up to 5 days of unpaid leave for employers with five or more employees.
With varying local, state, and federal leave laws, ensuring compliance can be overwhelming but critical for avoiding fines and employee dissatisfaction.
