New California Disability and Pregnancy Disability Regulations

Join us for a webinar discussing the important changes in the new regulations as well as recommendations on compliance for California employers. The presenter panel will feature Ann M.

Topics covered will include:

• Expanded definitions of "pregnancy-related conditions," "disability," and "reasonable accommodation"
• Calculation of pregnancy disability leave period
• Issues related to notice and medical certification
