Am I Being Discriminated Against Because I’m Pregnant?

It may not be glaringly obvious if you’re being discriminated against. Some things that may be considered pregnancy discrimination include not getting hired for a job or getting fired from a job due to being pregnant. You may also be discriminated against if you are fired after you take your maternity leave. Additionally, if you are docked pay because of your pregnancy and maternity leave, that could be considered pregnancy discrimination. The best thing that you can do right now is talk to a California pregnancy discrimination lawyer about your claim. You will get a plan personalized to you. We can show you what needs to happen next to take legal action.

Employer Not Granting Pregnancy-Related Leave

Employers are required to allow employees who are physically restricted due to pregnancy to take a leave of absence. Here are examples of what your employer cannot do to you:

You cannot be fired for requiring leave for your pregnancy.
Your employer cannot force you to use up all of your sick/vacation time before allowing you to take your pregnancy leave. Especially if your employer does not make other employees do the same.
Your employer cannot make you shorten your pregnancy leave to get back to work sooner than someone who took leave for medical reasons other than pregnancy.
Your employer cannot prevent you from taking leave without pay if they let other employees who take leave for medical reasons take that same type of leave.

The Family and Medical Leave Act offers protection. Your employer has to let you return to work. They cannot edit the leave granted to you. It has to be the same benefits they offer to employers who need medical leave for other purposes.
