On September 29, 2024, Governor Newsom signed Assembly Bill (AB) 2123, eliminating
employer's ability to require employees to use accrued vacation
leave before accessing California's Paid Family Leave Program
(PFL).
PFL is a state-run program providing benefits to individuals
taking time off to care for a seriously ill child, spouse, parent,
or domestic partner, bond with a new minor child, or assist
military family members under active duty.
Previously, employers could require employees to take up to 2
weeks of accrued vacation before employees could access PFL
benefits. As of January 1, 2025, this requirement will no longer
apply.
