Legal Protections Against Pregnancy Discrimination

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.

Signs of Pregnancy Discrimination

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
