Pregnancy Disability Leave (PDL)

Pregnancy Disability Leave, says that you must keep working until a doctor takes you off work. If your doctor gives you Medical Restrictions, your company needs to consider Modified Duty and Reasonable Accommodation. If needed, you must be transferred to a lighter position, unlike ordinary disabilities. Pregnancy Disability Leave also applies when you cannot work any longer due to pregnancy, morning sickness, or prenatal care.

California Family Rights Act (CFRA)

The 12 weeks can be used intermittently (pieces at a time) or all at once. The California Family Rights Act offers the same protections as Family Medical Leave Act and additional protection such as the coverage of same-sex domestic partners and more privacy protection.
