Employees on parental leave have job protection rights, but what exactly does that mean for employers?
What Job Protection Includes
Under CFRA and PDL, an employer must restore the employee to the same or a comparable position after leave. This means:
- Same salary, benefits, and working conditions
- Same or equivalent job title
- No reduction in hours or responsibilities
Employers cannot retaliate against employees for taking parental leave and must ensure a smooth reintegration into the workplace.
