Once again, the California version of the Federal Family Medical Leave Act is called the California Family Leave Rights Act and abbreviated, “CFRA.” For further research on the CFRA, see California Government Code Section 12945.2.
All of the above prerequisites for CFRA/FMLA can be waived by the employer. There are some employers of less than fifty or five employees whom provide CFRA/FMLA coverage to their employees. There are also some employers whom allow employees to take more than twelve weeks for CFRA/FMLA leave and/or they include baby bonding in their CFRA/FMLA coverage. Certainly, an employee should not count on any of these rare exceptions being made to what the California Family Rights Leave Act or Family Medical Leave Act covers.
Regardless of the employer's excuse for your job termination, we would like to speak to you if you feel your CFRA/FMLA rights were violated.

We have also settled hundreds of cases involving the failure to grant and/or loss of employment due to the exercise of Family Medical Leave/California Family Rights Leaves.
