California Family Rights Act

The California Family Rights Act (CFRA) is a law that allows eligible employees to take unpaid, job-protected leave for specific family and health reasons. These include caring for a new child, caring for a sick family member, or dealing with one’s own serious health condition. The law applies to employers with 5 or more employees and ensures you can take leave without losing your job or benefits. Typically, eligible employees can take up to 12 weeks of leave in a 12-month period. CFRA helps balance work responsibilities with important family and health needs while safeguarding employment stability.
