California parental leave, simplified.
Having a baby and working in California? You have the longest paid leave in the US. Here is how to use all of it.
The problemBy law, HR has to tell you about 12 weeks of FMLA. The problem? That leaves out PDL (pregnancy disability leave) and CFRA (California family leave). Those give you more time. Do not leave your time off up to work. That is how families miss out.
The fixIf you work and pay into SDI, you each get your own leave. Moms can get up to 29 weeks off, with up to 25 paid. Partners can get up to 12 weeks, with up to 8 paid. The Blueprint gives you both one plan, step by step.
