It is essential to understand that Paid Family Leave does not provide employees with job protection. If your job is not protected under another state or federal law (such as the Pregnancy Disability Leave Law (PDLL), California Family Rights Act (CFRA), or Family Medical Leave Act FMLA), then receiving Paid Family Leave Benefits will not protect your job. However, if your leave of absence is does not provide job protection but your employer permits you to take additional time off, you may be eligible to receive PFL benefits.
Taking Paid Family Leave does not provide you with job protection. If you are able to take job protected leave under another law, such as the CFRA, then the Paid Family Leave program will provide you with partial wage replacement. But the Paid Family Leave Program does not provide employees with any job protection.
The Paid Family Leave program does not provide employees with time off work or job protection under any circumstances. It does provide wage replacement benefits for up to eight weeks for eligible types of leave.
