Legal Question in Medical Leave in California
California FMLA
My employer has stated that I must be employed for one year to be eligible for FMLA benefits. I will be going out on Maternity Leave, covered by SDI, for 6 weeks. While out I will reach the one year mark of employment. Am I still excluded from FMLA benefits, due to the one year of employment rule, even if I won't be applying for FMLA beneifts until after my 6 weeks covered by SDI is up?

Re: California FMLA
To get FMLA benifits, you must be employed for at least 12 months, and have worked at least 1,250 hours during the 12-month period immediately preceding the commencement of the leave, and work at a location where the employer employs at least 50 employees. If you are entitled to benefits under that definition, and are denied them, feel free to contact me for legal help.
