MEN AND WOMEN ARE ENTITLED TO PARENTAL LEAVE IN THE CA WORK PLACE
Both male and female employees in California might be entitled to a leave of absence under the Family and Medical Leave Act. An increasing number of men are filing claims under this Act, whether it be because they are a single parent and desire to spend more time with their child or children, or because they want to care for an ailing parent or other close family member, or because they want to spend time with their newborn. As a man or woman employed in CA, you might be eligible for time off under the Act, and an informed employment lawyer will help you determine whether or not you qualify.
The FMLA grants eligible employees up to a total of 12 workweeks of unpaid leave during any 12-month period for one or more of the following reasons:
- The birth of and to care for your newborn child
- To care for your immediate family member (spouse, child, or parent) with a serious health condition
- Medical leave when you are unable to work because of a serious health condition
