AB 2123 Disallows Vacation-Use Requirement for Paid Family Leave (PFL) Recipients

Bryan Little, Farm Employers Labor Service

Governor Newsom signed AB 2123 (Papan, D-San Mateo) on September 29 to prohibit employers from requiring employees from receiving employee-funded Paid Family Leave to use up two weeks of employer-provided vacation before receiving PFL benefits. Employers sometimes took this step to reduce the total amount of times employees took from work; if the employee kept a full bank of vacation while using PFL, the employee could use vacation after returning from a PFL leave.
