Sick leave falls under the federal FMLA - see our page on the United States for more details. In addition to federal provision, employees in California can accrue one hour of sick leave for every 30 hours worked, up to a maximum of three days per year. These sick leave days can be carried forward once to the next year, making a maximum of six days of sick leave.
Maternity leave falls under the federal FMLA - see our page on the United States for more details. In addition to federal provision, the California Family Rights Act and Pregnancy Disability Leave offer further rights: Companies with over five employees must give employees who have disabilities related to pregnancy or birth up to four months' leave (unpaid) and six weeks on partial pay. Companies with over nineteen employees must provide up to 12 weeks of family leave to new parents.
New fathers in California are entitled to 12 weeks of unpaid paternity leave.
See our page on the United States for details on termination processes that also apply to California.
Most employees in California are employed "at will", meaning either party can end the contract without notice. However, in practice, many employers offer and request two weeks' notice. In mass dismissal cases, 60 days' notice is a federal requirement.
Employers are not required to pay severance except when it is stipulated in the employment contract or collective agreement. In California, many employers offer severance payments based on the employee's length of service.
Probationary periods are not legally required, but many employers follow the initial 90 days of employment with a performance evaluation.
