Pregnancy Disability Leave (PDL): FMLA and CFRA – If I have an employee who is pregnant and they do not need to go on Pregnancy Disability Leave (PDL), then would they be just eligible for 12 weeks of leave under FMLA and CFRA running concurrently?

Yes, but more than likely when the employee is pregnant the doctor will typically take her off work for at least 2 – 6 weeks before having the baby. So that is PDL and FMLA prior to having the baby. Depending on whether it is a C-section or a normal birth, it will be 6-8 weeks after the baby is born that the employee is still considered disabled because of pregnancy. That will be again PDL or FMLA. After the 6-8 weeks postpartum disability is over then she will be on CFRA and will get 12 weeks for baby bonding.
