DATE: August 17th, 2022
TIME: 10:00am-11:30am
The ability to access pregnancy and breastfeeding-related legal protections at work can be critical to the health and wellbeing of workers and their families. Health care providers are regularly asked to provide work notes for pregnant and breastfeeding patients who may need a leave of absence or adjustments to how, when, or where their job is done. While an improperly written work note can result in the patient losing her job or being forced out on leave, an effectively written work note can ensure the patient will receive what they need to stay safe and healthy. Health care providers can further play an important role by helping patients access critical income replacement during an otherwise unpaid leave and incorporating discussions about workplace issues into care conversations. The speakers will provide an overview of pregnancy-related employment rights (such as pregnancy and breastfeeding accommodations and leave), discuss how write an effective work note, and explain how health care providers can help patients access critical income replacement through California’s State Disability Insurance (SDI) program.

*Last year, in recognition of the tremendous financial stress members were facing and to ensure that important and timely information could be accessed with no barriers, CPCA elected to waive training fees for the entire membership year (April 1,2020- March 31, 2021) and offer all training at no cost. As we continue to work in this pandemic environment to provide members the support they need, we must also plan for the future while supporting community health centers in improving the health status of their communities through advocacy, education, and services. Which is why the Board of Directors approved a budget in February that reflects a reinstatement of training fees effective for trainings taking place on or after April 1, 2021. If you have any questions or concerns about this change, please email us at training@cpca.org.
