What is a “Serious Health Condition”?

There are very specific circumstances under which an employee is entitled to FMLA/CFRA leave. Complex rules determine whether the employee or family member has a “serious health condition” covered by FMLA/CFRA. Managers and supervisors should not make their own judgments as to whether a condition qualifies as “serious”, but instead should refer these questions to the County’s ADA/TWA/LOA Coordinator.
