How does Childbearing Leave interact with the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA)?
Top If a faculty member on a childbearing leave also is eligible for family and medical leave, up to 12 workweeks of the childbearing leave shall run concurrently with family and medical leave under Federal law. At the end of a childbearing leave (which may extend up to 4 months if the individual is certified disabled by her health care provider), an eligible faculty member also is entitled to up to 12 workweeks of unpaid leave consistent with the CFRA (California Family Rights Act of 1991) to care for her newborn child, if the child has been born by this date, or for any other covered reason except pregnancy or pregnancy-related medical conditions, if the appointee has any remaining FMLA/CFRA leave entitlement.
