Free Introduction
The free introduction provides a high-level overview of maternity leave benefits, including FMLA, CFRA, Bonding, PDL, PFL, and SDI. We'll review how these benefits interact, their eligibility requirements, and how to navigate extensions. You'll also gain insight into how state and employer benefits coordinate, key steps in the claims process, and strategies to optimize your leave. This session will help you understand your options and set a strong foundation for planning a smooth and stress-free maternity leave.
Self-Paced Online Workshop
Our self-paced online workshop gives you the flexibility to learn on your own schedule while still getting actionable guidance. You’ll dive into California maternity leave benefits, including FMLA, CFRA, PDL, PFL, SDI, and employer top-ups, and learn how they interact, key filing dates, and strategies to maximize your time and pay. This workshop is ideal for those who want a structured, step-by-step approach without scheduling a private consultation, giving you the confidence to plan a smooth and fully optimized maternity leave at your own pace.
Personalized Consulting
Private consultations provide a comprehensive review of all benefits (including employer benefits!) to maximize each one, ensuring you get the most time off and pay during your maternity leave. You will receive a personalized roadmap tailored to your employer benefits, leave plans, estimated due date, delivery type, preferred return-to-work date, and whether you plan to return to work at all. This custom roadmap will include all essential claim filing dates and deadlines, so you won't miss out on any time or money during your maternity leave.
