Explanation
Paid Family Leave provides partial wage-replacement benefits (funded by employee SDI contributions) for up to eight weeks when a worker takes time off to bond with a new child or care for a seriously ill family member. PFL provides pay replacement, not job protection; job protection comes from CFRA/FMLA if applicable.
