Pregnancy Discrimination/Failure to Accommodate
When a woman becomes pregnant, state and federal laws prohibit her employer from engaging in any form of employment discrimination. Employment laws also require employers to maintain a pregnancy leave policy that accommodates the needs of prospective mothers. This includes the need for leave as well as the need to return to work within the allotted time.
At Advantage Law Group, we assist employees throughout California in all areas of employment law. We handle all types of employment matters related to pregnancy, including:
- Pregnancy/maternity leave
- Pregnancy discrimination
- Failure to reinstate
- FMLA claims
- Paternity leave
- Failure to accommodate
- Failure to accommodate for breast feeding
In California, mothers and fathers have a right to reasonable employment leave to bond with newborn babies. During pregnancy, an expecting mother has a right to work in a workplace environment free from discrimination. This includes the right to reasonable work accommodations, as well as the right to maternity leave.
If you have been denied leave, lost your job while you were on leave, or have otherwise been denied your rights, Advantage Law Group can help. Our team of experienced employment law attorneys is dedicated to protecting employees throughout the state of California. If you need to speak with a California employment law attorney, we encourage you to contact our office.
