SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) - California businesses wouldn't be allowed to fire or retaliate against employees who use a state family leave program under a bill moving through the Legislature. The program allows qualified employees to take up to six weeks off with partial pay to bond with a new child, or to care for a family member. Employer groups oppose the bill. They say it would transform a program meant to replace lost wages into a protected leave of absence.
