What is the difference between California’s Disability Insurance, Paid Family Leave, and employee leave laws?

California’s Disability Insurance

California’s Disability Insurance provides essential financial support to individuals who are unable to work due to a non-work-related illness or injury. This state-mandated program is designed to assist eligible workers by replacing a portion of their lost wages while they recover. It offers short-term benefits that cover a range of medical conditions, from pregnancy-related disabilities to serious illnesses. California’s Disability Insurance is funded through payroll deductions and administered by the Employment Development Department (EDD).
