This program will cover mandated laws related to California specifically, including FMLA, PDL, PFL, along with topics such as paid time off, vacation, sick time.
Large and small companies alike are presented with the challenge of trying to juggle the demands of maintaining profitability and employee productivity in an increasingly competitive economy.

The expanding obligations under federal and state family leave laws;
When may an employer lawfully refuse a time off request;
The elements of a lawful time off policy;
The consequences for non compliance;
