I may be physically unable to return work within the 12 week time limit and may have to extend my absence by several weeks while I finish physical therapy. Will my employer be required to honor my request, or could this be grounds for termination.
Thanks,

It appears you are asking about the California Family Medical Leave and the California Pregnancy Disability Leave Acts. You are entitled under the pregnancy disability leave act to up to 4 months of unpaid, job protected leave for a disability due to pregnancy complications, and to recover from your delivery. Once you have recovered the family medical leave act permits you an additional 12 weeks of unpaid leave to bond with your baby. They do not run concurrently under these scenarios.
