Requires employers with 5 or more employees to provide 12 weeks of leave for bonding with a newborn or adopted child, caring for a family member with a serious health condition, and/or caring for the employee's own serious health condition. This is known as which act?

• A. California Family Rights Act
• B. Family Medical Leave Act
• C. Pregnancy and Family Leave Act
• D. California Leave for Family Act

Answer: (A)

California's leave protections allow eligible employees to take up to 12 weeks of job-protected leave to bond with a new child, care for a seriously ill family member, or care for the employee’s own serious health condition. This coverage is provided by the California Family Rights Act, which applies to employers with five or more employees. It mirrors many aspects of the federal Family and Medical Leave Act but at a smaller employer threshold, and it can run alongside other California leave rights (such as pregnancy-related disability leave). The other options refer to different laws that do not match this exact California framework.
