What other California leave laws does Tilt support?

Additional protections beyond CFRA, PDL, SDI, and PFL


Quick answer
Beyond the five fully managed laws (CFRA, PDL, SDI, PFL, SF PPLO), Tilt supports around 17 additional California leave laws on a more customized basis, since these come up less often and support needs vary by circumstance. Examples include bereavement leave (up to 5 days unpaid), jury duty leave, voting leave (up to 2 hours paid), and organ/bone marrow donation leave. Some employers prefer to manage these in-house rather than initiate Tilt's leave process, especially for sensitive situations. Reach out to your Tilt contact for custom implementation of any of these.

Who this applies to / Prerequisites

  • Employers and employees covered by these California-specific leave entitlements
  • Each law has its own covered-employer definition and eligibility criteria — check the specific law before assuming coverage
  • Tilt can create custom steps during implementation for these laws upon request

What if it doesn't work

  • Need one of these laws set up as a formal leave process: Reach out to your Tilt contact to discuss custom implementation.
  • Prefer to handle a specific law in-house: This is a valid option, especially for sensitive situations — Tilt doesn't require these to go through its leave process.
  • Not sure if a specific law applies to your organization: Each law has its own covered-employer threshold and eligibility rules — check the specific entitlement above, or contact your Tilt contact.
  • If none of these apply, contact your Tilt contact or Leave Success Manager.

Limits and exceptions

  • These laws are supported on a more customized, case-by-case basis than the five fully managed laws — expect variation in process and required setup.
  • Whether to initiate Tilt's leave process for these laws is an employer choice, not a requirement.
  • Some of these leave types (e.g., organ/bone marrow donation) explicitly do not run concurrently with CFRA — check each law individually rather than assuming standard concurrency rules apply.
  • This list reflects the laws named in Tilt's source documentation as of the last verification date and may not be exhaustive of all California leave entitlements.
