Governor Gavin Newsom recently signed SB 1383, which expands the California Family Rights Act (CFRA). Beginning January 1, 2021, employers with five or more employees will be subject to CFRA requirements to provide protected unpaid family leave. Currently, CFRA only applies to employers with 50 or more employees. The new law also expands the list of qualifying family members to include a child, parent, grandparent, grandchild, sibling, spouse, and domestic partner.
