Under SB 83, wage replacement benefits under the California Paid Family Leave (PFL) increases from 6 weeks to 8 weeks beginning July 1, 2020. This bill amends, repeals, or adds multiple sections of the Government Code, Labor Code, and Unemployment Insurance Code.
Employers are not required to provide paid parental leave under federal or California law. New parents can receive partial wages from the state while taking time off to bond with a child. The state pays 60 percent of most employees' wages—up to a maximum set by state law ($1,252 in 2019)—for six weeks. California Senate Bill 83.
Paid Family Leave (PFL) provides benefits to individuals who need to take time off work to care for a seriously ill child, parent, parent-in-law, grandparent, grandchild, sibling, spouse, or registered domestic partner. Benefits are also available to new parents who need time to bond with a new child entering their life either by birth, adoption, or foster care placement. PFL does not provide job protection, only monetary benefits. California Senate Bill 83.
Here, plaintiff likens his request for paternity leave to a request for medical leave under the FEHA. OPP 2:15-17. The complaint alleges that plaintiff requested paternity leave in 2015. Complaint ¶ 10. Therefore, plaintiff’s request for paternity leave is not cognizable as a protected activity under the FEHA because it was made before the amendment became effective. To the extent plaintiff refers to Title VII and the Labor Code, these statutes do not fall under the FEHA.

While FEHA harassment and discrimination are distinct from CFRA family leave, P has collapsed the two public policies in both COAs and identified the same adverse action (termination) for both COAs. As a result, the 5th and 6th COAs are duplicative as drafted. However, the Court percieves no useful purpose in compelling Plaintiff to revise these claims where no confusion exists as to the applicable grounds. The demurrer to the 6th COA is overruled.
