Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: California and federal laws create numerous statutory rules that provide employees the right to leaves of absence. More than 20 statutes now govern the rules in this area. Governor Brown signed several more time off bills into law. The evolution of these laws has dramatically eroded the freedom employers formerly had to grant or deny time off requests. In many cases, several laws may provide an employee overlapping protections through a complicated system of rules. -- from publisher's website.
