LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST

SB 848, as introduced, Rubio. Employment: leave for loss causing grief.

Existing law, the California Fair Employment and Housing Act, makes it an unlawful employment practice for an employer to refuse to grant a request by any employee to take up to 5 days of bereavement leave upon the death of a family member.

This bill would state the intent of the Legislature to enact legislation that would provide employees with leave time after suffering a loss that causes grief.
