Demystifying California’s 2024 Parental Leave Laws
In this week’s episode, host Samantha Saxby talks with Akiko Thayer, wife, mother of two, certified leave management specialist, and founder of Maternity Leave 411. Through her business, Akiko helps parents navigate the complexities of maternity and paternity leave benefits, in California and beyond. She empowers expectant parents with the knowledge of their leave rights so they can have productive conversations with their employers—and maximize their time with their newborn babies.
In their insightful conversation, Samantha and Akiko discuss:
How Akiko’s leave experiences inspired Maternity Leave 411
California’s Pregnancy Disability Leave (PDL)
California’s Family Rights Act (CFRA)
How expectant parents can leverage those laws to their benefit
The possibility of a federal parental leave law
