Leave Laws
Nossaman has the expertise and experience to guide California employers in all industries through the confusing patchwork of federal and state statutes that may grant an employee a leave of absence for reasons of disability, health conditions of self or a family member, child adoption, pregnancy, or military service. Nossaman attorneys counsel public and private employers to ensure they are in compliance with these confusing, some times overlapping dictates, and the host of issues they raise.
In cases where the EEOC or DFEH have initiated investigations into potentially discriminatory leave practices--or the failure to accommodate employees when leaves are warranted--Nossaman professionals have the experience and calm, practical advice to resolve the situations, usually without going to court. But, when disputes over leave compliance lead to lawsuits, savvy employers turn to their trusted advisors at Nossaman.
Because leave of absence statutes and case law continue to be a dynamic and evolving area of the law, our professionals are committed to be fully up-to-date and we speak frequently to employer groups to help them stay current.
