Bulletin Item: Confusion About The New Paid Family Leave Law Continues

The EDD has now told us the new law allows an employee who has taken disability pregnancy leave to take six weeks of paid family leave, contrary to our statement in last month’s issue. The law is (seemingly) contradictory in several places. If clarification is provided, we’ll let you know. In the meantime, employers need only post the appropriate information and provide employees with the required forms. The Employment Development Department is responsible for determining when benefits are to be paid.
