CA Pregnancy Disability Leave Notice

In early February, the CA Fair Employment and Housing Act (“FEHA”) regulations were revised, changing, in part, the California Pregnancy Disability Leave notice that employers are required to post.  Specifically, the change relates to the language required in the notice itself.   Employers have the option to (1) post the revised notice specified in the regulations, unless it is inconsistent with the employer’s own policy, or (2) post a notice developed by the employer that is consistent with the regulatory requirements.

Employers with five (5) or more employees and public entity employers of any size are required to post the revised California Pregnancy Disability Leave notice, or otherwise comply with the notice changes, beginning on April 1, 2016.  Take care not to change the required notice prior to April 1, 2016.
