Fight Back! We Only Get Paid if We Get You Paid
There may come a time when you need help from a pregnancy discrimination attorney in Newport Beach, CA. If your employer has treated your unfavorably due to your pregnancy status or after giving birth, then turn to the Azadian Law Group, PC.
Our knowledgeable and experienced team is going to be by your side as we investigate your case. We believe that your employer should be held accountable for their actions, and we will work to secure the compensation you deserve.
We want you to know that you are protected under the law from discrimination based on your pregnancy status. The California Fair Employment and Housing Act (FEHA) offers significant protections to women who are pregnant and work for an employer with five or more employees.
What are you protected from?
You have state and federal protections from discrimination in all aspects of employment, including:
You cannot be retaliated against by your employer for using or requesting your legally allowed pregnancy leave or reasonable accommodations.
For a normal pregnancy without complications, you are afforded:
During your pregnancy, your employer should work with you to make reasonable accommodations as needed, as long as normal business operations are not affected. This can include things like allowing you to take longer breaks, permission to sit instead of stand, and transferring temporarily to duties with less strenuous duties. If possible, employees may even be able to work from home.
Please know that under the California Family Rights Act and the federal Family Medical Leave Act, you can take more time off for complications should they arise.
For California employers with 20 or more employees, you could be eligible for up to an additional 12 weeks of bonding time with your child.
Your employer must return you to the same position with the same pay or one with comparable duties and pay when you return from your medical leave.
If you have been treated unfairly at work or lost your job due to your pregnancy status, it is time to seek legal assistance. This type of discrimination in the workplace needs to end, and the team at the Azadian Law Group, PC is ready to step in on your behalf.
