An overview of Pregnancy Leave
The California Pregnancy Disability Leave (PDL) Law requires employers to provide up to 4 months of
leave for employees who are disabled by pregnancy, with or without pay. However, certificated
employees are eligible under the union contract to receive paid leave before and after their delivery,
through use of their accumulated sick leave, and up to an additional 100 work days of half-pay sick leave
once they exhaust their full-pay sick leave.
