AB 325
(Lowenthal) Bereavement Leave
AB 325 would mandate
that every employer grant every employee up to four days of unpaid
bereavement leave per year upon the death of a spouse, child,
parent, sibling, grandparent, grandchild or domestic partner. The
bill further prohibits any adverse action against employees for
inquiring, requesting or taking such a leave and creates a private
right of action with an automatic recovery of attorney’s fees for
violations of the bill’s provisions.
