California already has a family leave law in effect (the “California Family Rights Act”). How will the FMLA affect this state law?
The FMLA does not displace any provision of a state or local law that provides greater family or medical leave rights to employees. Since the FMLA places no obligation on employees to designate whether the leave they are taking is FMLA leave as opposed to leave under a state law, employers covered by both the federal FMLA and an applicable state law must comply with the provisions of both.
