Effective January 1, 2023, under Assembly Bill 1949, which amends the California Family Rights Act (CFRA), California employers with at least five employees must provide up to five days of bereavement leave to an eligible employee upon the death of a family member. To be eligible for the leave, the employee must have completed at least 30 days’ service prior to the leave. “Family member” means a spouse or a child, parent, sibling, grandparent, grandchild, domestic partner, or parent-in-law.
