(EDD), through employee payroll deductions, provides for family
temporary disability insurance benefits to workers who need to care

Effective July 1, 2014, Senate Bill 770 expands the definition of
"family member" to include a grandparent, grandchild,
sibling, or parent-in-law. Employers should note that employee
eligibility for PFL is determined by the EDD rather than employers,

under the California Family Rights Act, the Family Medical Leave
Act, or other laws protecting the employment status of employees
who to take time off to care for family members.
