What leaves of absence issues means

Certain types of absence from work are protected under California employment law.

In fact, California workers have the right to take time off work for many different reasons, without fear of losing their job. These reasons include dealing with family and personal matters; medical issues; serving in the military; and more.

If your employer refuses to give you paid or even unpaid medical or sick leave due to a serious health condition being experienced by you or a family member, that employer may be violating the California Family Rights Act or similar laws.

If this has happened to you, get in touch with us now. We have a team of experienced lawyers who will defend your employee rights.
