Pregnancy disability leave
It has been said that death and taxes are the only two sure things in life but man, those people ought to cheer up. After all, you don’t even get to all that “death is inevitable” drivel without love (hopefully), sex (rock & roll optional), pregnancy and childhood. California supports the pregnancy part with some of the most protective workplace leave laws in the nation.
California’s Pregnancy Disability Leave (PDL) law requires any employer with four or more persons on payroll to provide a worker up to four months of unpaid leave for her pregnancy, delivery and newborn care. Pregnant employees have those rights even if they must go out on such leave within days of taking on new employment. These protections extend to full time and part-time workers alike.
