Navigating and administering leaves of absence and workplace accommodations in California has never been easy. Employers have to first understand which statutory leaves apply to their workplace, then ensure that they not only have policies in place regarding those leaves, but also administer those leaves properly. Often times, various statutes overlap in a given situation making compliance with the law even more difficult.
