Does employer have to take you back after state disability state in ca?

In California, an employer is not legally required to reinstate an employee after a state disability leave, unless the leave is taken under the California Family Rights Act (CFRA) or the federal Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA), which may provide job protection. However, if the employee is still qualified and can perform the essential functions of their job, the employer is generally expected to consider reinstatement. Employers must also comply with any applicable company policies regarding leave and reinstatement. It's advisable for employees to check their specific situation with HR or a legal expert.
