PREGNANCY DISCRIMINATION

Discrimination based on pregnancy, childbirth, or related medical conditions is illegal, as is discrimination based on the “potential pregnancy.” It is also illegal for an employer to ask a prospective employee whether or not she is or intends to become pregnant. Mr. Pourati has prosecuted a number of pregnancy discrimination cased successfully.

 

Accommodating Pregnant Employees: Employees who become pregnant are protected under the law. If a doctor advises a position that is less strenuous or hazardous, the employer must transfer the employee to another position if one is available or can be made available without an undue hardship on the employer. Size of the employer and nature of accommodation sought is a factor.

 

There is medical leave and other rights guaranteed to pregnant employees under State and Federal law which are too complicated to explain briefly. For example, California law provides for a four-month maximum (unpaid) leave of absence. To discuss the details of your specific case, please contact Mr. Pourati for a free consultation.  The consultation is free and if we represent you, you do not pay any attorneys’ fees unless we recovery money for you.
