Needing to take a leave of absence from work due to pregnancy, family or medical reasons can be intimidating. You may know that there are laws that entitle you to take a leave under certain conditions, but, what are they? Further, you may be afraid that even if you are legally entitled to take a leave of absence that it may endanger your position at work. Employers in Oakland can be unforgiving when their bottom lines are threatened.
If you have any questions about what leave you are entitled to or about taking the leave that you are legally entitled to, our firm is ready to help you understand and assert your rights at each step of the process.
Employees have rights to leaves of absence under the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) and the California Family Rights Act (CFRA).
