California state workers will get a new family medical benefit next year.
Approximately 45,000 California state employees are expected to gain a new benefit next year that will let them take paid time off if they have a baby or must care for a family member experiencing a medical emergency. Governor Jerry Brown’s administration is expanding paid family leave to about 45,000 managers and supervisors who are not represented by unions.
Those workers will be eligible for paid family leave as of July 1, 2019.
