Berliner Cohen Partner Christine Long, in partnership with California Restaurant Association, invites you to a webinar on September 17th that will review employee leave laws that most commonly impact California restaurant operators.
Employee leave laws continue to evolve and understanding how federal and California requirements work together can be challenging. This webinar will explore the interaction between the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA), the California Family Rights Act (CFRA), Workers' Compensation, and other California-specific leave requirements. We'll break down when leave may be required, where these laws overlap, and the employer responsibilities that can help reduce legal risk.
What You'll Learn
- The differences between FMLA and CFRA and when each law applies.
- How the ADA and Workers' Compensation interact with employee leave obligations.
- California-specific leave requirements, including Pregnancy Disability Leave, Paid Sick Leave, Bereavement Leave, and Reproductive Loss Leave.
- Common qualifying events, eligibility requirements, and available job protections.
- Best practices for managing leave requests while maintaining compliance.
This webinar is recommended for restaurant owners, operators, HR professionals, general managers, payroll and benefits administrators, and anyone responsible for employee leave administration or workplace compliance.
Register today and gain the practical guidance you need to confidently navigate California's complex leave laws.
