Legal Question in Medical Leave in California

Confused about FMLA and CRFA in California?

I have a high risk pregnancy and my doctors want to take me off work (against my will) at 28 weeks. I know I can take PFL concurrently with FMLA to ensure I can have my job, but that wouldn't cover all of the time I might need to take. Is it FMLA OR CRFA under California law, or both? Can I use FMLA then use time after birth under CRFA (Do I have a total of 24 weeks with my job guaranteed, or just 12? or 16)? I work at a company with over 50 employees so both are applicable.

Re: Confused about FMLA and CRFA in California?

you can take the 12 week pregnancy FMLA leave if doctor ordered, and then take the 4 month CFRA pregnancy leave. If refused or retaliated against, or if you need help in 'negotiating' the process with the employer, feel free to contact me.
