The California Family Rights Act (CFRA) is a State act that provides leave provisions similar to FMLA, with some differences. For example, under CFRA an employee’s serious health condition does not include disabilities due to pregnancy, childbirth or related medical conditions as would be covered by FMLA. Also, CFRA allows an employee leave to care for a registered domestic partner’s serious health condition, while FMLA does not. CFRA is administered by the California Department of Fair Employment and Housing.
