Understanding Pregnancy Discrimination Claims
Pregnancy discrimination occurs when an employer treats an employee unfairly due to pregnancy, childbirth, or related medical conditions. Under federal and California law, pregnant employees are protected from wrongful termination, demotions, denied promotions, and workplace harassment. Employers are also required to provide reasonable accommodations and medical leave for expecting and new mothers.
At Highway Law Group, we help employees who have experienced pregnancy discrimination hold their employers accountable and seek the compensation they deserve.
Common Examples of Pregnancy Discrimination
Pregnancy discrimination can take many forms, often making it difficult for employees to recognize when their rights have been violated. Common examples include:
- Wrongful Termination – Firing an employee after learning about her pregnancy.
- Denied Accommodations – Refusing to modify job duties or allow breaks as required by law.
- Reduced Hours or Pay – Cutting hours or wages because of pregnancy-related absences.
- Failure to Provide Maternity Leave – Denying the right to take legally protected leave under the FMLA or CFRA.
- Retaliation – Penalizing an employee for requesting accommodations or reporting discrimination.
- Harassment – Making derogatory comments about an employee’s pregnancy or ability to work.
If you have experienced any of these forms of discrimination, you may be entitled to legal action against your employer.
