At Pacific Coast Injury Law Center, we are dedicated to protecting the rights of employees who experience workplace discrimination due to pregnancy. If you or someone you know has faced discrimination based on pregnancy, childbirth, or related medical conditions, our experienced legal team is here to help.
Under federal and California laws, including the California Fair Employment and Housing Act (FEHA), the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), the Family Medical Leave Act (FMLA), and the Pregnancy Discrimination Act (PDA), employers are prohibited from discriminating against pregnant employees. Employers must provide reasonable accommodations, such as:
Light-duty assignments
Alternative work arrangements with minimal medical risk
Up to four months of pregnancy disability leave
Employers are also prohibited from retaliating against employees for requesting accommodations or taking necessary leave.
Pregnancy discrimination in the workplace can take many forms, including:
Denial of time off or reasonable accommodations
Wrongful termination or demotion due to pregnancy
Forced unpaid leave or extended maternity leave
Restrictions on work duties based on pregnancy status
If you believe your employer has engaged in any of these actions, you have the right to take legal action.
