Is my job protected while Im taking PFL?
PFL provides you income replacement while on leave – it does not guarantee job protection during your leave. However, you may be eligible for job-protected leave through the federal Family Medical Leave Act (FMLA), the California Family Rights Act (CFRA) or the California Pregnancy Disability Leave (PDL) law. If you are a union member, you may have the right to job-protected leave through a collective bargaining agreement. To learn more about job protection during your leave, review these factsheets produced by our partners at the Legal Aid Society Employment Law Center.
