If your employer treated you unfairly because of your pregnancy, medical leave, or return to work, you may have a legal claim. We help California workers take action and recover what they’re owed.
California law protects employees from discrimination related to pregnancy, childbirth, and related medical conditions. Employers cannot fire, demote, or penalize you for being pregnant, requesting accommodations, or taking medical leave.
Examples of pregnancy discrimination include:
California’s Pregnancy Disability Leave (PDL) law and the Fair Employment and Housing Act (FEHA) work together to ensure you can safely work and take time off when needed. Federal laws, including the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA), may also apply.
Employee Lawyers helps you understand your rights and take legal action if your employer crossed the line.
We represent workers across California in cases where pregnancy-related bias affected their jobs, income, or professional standing. Our attorneys help clients recover lost wages, job reinstatement, emotional damages, and other compensation.
