FMLA/CFRA
In compliance with the federal Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) and the California Family Rights Act (CFRA), 麻豆社madou provides eligible employees with job-protected leave under the provisions of this policy. Up to twelve (12) weeks of leave is provided within a twelve (12) month period for eligible family and medical reasons, or for qualifying exigencies arising out of a military member鈥檚 covered active duty or an impending call or order to active duty. Employees can be unpaid or elect to use accrued time off. For more information, please see policy 520.
FMLA/CFRA doesn鈥檛 provide income replacement benefits, but you may be eligible for State Disability Insurance (SDI) or Paid Family Leave (PFL), as determined by the Employment Development Department (EDD).听 The 麻豆社madou Payroll Department can integrate/coordinate payments from the EDD with your accrued time off.听 This means if you receive SDI/PFL your accrued time off balances will typically last longer. Please visit the for information about filing a claim. If you choose not to apply online and need a copy of the form please contact the EDD for a current copy of the form.听 Please be advised that SDI/PFL normally replaces only part of the employee鈥檚 pay. You can contact the 麻豆社madou payroll department for more information at (916) 278-7427. Applying for benefits with EDD is not contingent on your leave request being approved under family medical leave.
