Existing federal law establishes the Civil Air Patrol as the civilian auxiliary of the United States Air Force. Existing state and federal law establish leave provisions for members of the Armed Forces of the United States, the reserve components of the Armed Forces of the United States, and the National Guard. This bill would require employers employing more than 15 employees to provide not less than 10 days per year of leave, beyond any leave benefits otherwise available to employees, to employees who have been employed by that employer for at least 90 days immediately preceding the commencement of leave, who are volunteer members of the California Wing of the Civil Air Patrol, and who have been duly directed and authorized by a political entity that has the authority to authorize an emergency operational mission of the California Wing of the Civil Air Patrol, to respond to an emergency operational mission of the California Wing of the Civil Air Patrol. The employee would be required to give the employer as much notice as possible of the intended dates upon which the leave would begin and end. The bill would require an employer, upon expiration of the Civil Air Patrol leave taken by an employee, to restore the employee to the position he or she held when the leave began or to a position with equivalent seniority status, employee benefits, pay, and other terms and conditions of employment, unless the employee is not restored because of conditions unrelated to the exercise of the leave rights by the employee. The bill would provide that an employer is not required to grant Civil Air Patrol leave to Civil Air Patrol employees who are required to respond as first responders or disaster service workers for a local, state, or federal agency to the same or a simultaneous emergency operational mission. The bill would authorize an employee to bring a civil action in the superior court of the appropriate county to enforce the Civil Air Patrol leave rights. The court would be authorized to enjoin any act or practice that violates the Civil Air Patrol leave provisions and to order any equitable relief necessary and appropriate to redress the violation or to enforce the Civil Air Patrol leave rights.
