Legal Question in Medical Leave in California
family leave act
I am a california teacher- and my
question is I am taking the full 12
weeks off under the family leave act
but one of those weeks would be the
week off for spring break does that
mean I am entitled to 13 weeks off
since one of those weeks would be
spring break and the teachers in my
school district have that week off?

Re: family leave act
The California Family Rights Act allows employees to take up to 12 "workweeks" off for medical family leave. So, if spring break is not a work week, it does not count toward the 12 weeks.
