California law provides job-protected leave from work to qualified employees who have a pregnancy related disability or need time off to bond with a new child from childbirth, adoption, or foster care. Starting in 2021, both forms of leave apply to California employers with just 5 or more employees.
To help employees and employers understand their rights and obligations under these forms of “new-parent leave,” the California Department of Fair Employment and Housing (DFEH) worked with Neota and students at the University of California, Irvine School of Law (UCI Law) to create a solution that provides tailored guidance based on inputs from the user. The tool interviews the user and provides a narrowly tailored report on how California Law applies to the user’s particular situation.
