Hello,
Unfortunately, I was laid off from my fulltime job in February, so I'm beginning my job search. My husband and I were TTC when I was employed, but it is on hold presently. I am looking for a fulltime/permanent position, but in my industry (IT), there are a number of W2 contracting positions that need to be filled, with a higher rate of placement. If I were to become a W2 contractor, what if any, maternity leave/disability would I be able to claim?
If I understand FMLA/CFRA correctly, I would not be protected under FMLA or CFRA unless I was previously employed through the agency for 12 months.
Would I be eligible to claim California State Disability Insurance or Paid Family Leave Insurance? As a W2 contractor, would I need to elect to participate in the State Disability Insurance Elective Coverage Program? Is a W2 contractor considered "self-employed"?
Thanks very much in advance for your help. I just want to prepare the best I can.
