Q: If I’m currently on FMLA and CFRA and I’m not ready to return to work after 12 weeks what options do I have
A:
If you're currently on FMLA and CFRA and not ready to return to work after 12 weeks, you have a few options to consider. One option is to apply for an extension of your leave through your employer, although this is not guaranteed and depends on your company's policies. It's essential to communicate openly with your employer about your situation and any additional time you might need.
Another option is to look into other forms of leave, such as short-term disability leave, if you have coverage. This type of leave can sometimes provide additional time off with partial pay, depending on your policy.
You might also consider discussing potential accommodations or a modified work schedule with your employer to ease your transition back to work. It’s important to know your rights and explore all available resources and support to manage your situation effectively.
