Los Angeles Pregnancy Discrimination Attorney
Pregnancy is a scary experience, and facing discrimination simply because you are pregnant can make matters even scarier. No one deserves to feel even more uneasy in this often emotional and uncertain time because of pregnancy-based discrimination. Despite Federal and State laws prohibiting pregnancy-based discrimination, workplace discrimination based on pregnancy still occurs.
Legal Protection for Pregnant Employees
There are several laws protecting women against workplace discrimination based on pregnancy or childbirth, including federal laws like the Pregnancy Discrimination Act (PDA), the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA), and the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). In California, the state laws include the California Fair Employment and Housing Act (FEHA) and the California Family Rights Act (CFRA).
If you believe an employer failed to hire you because of your pregnancy, were fired, demoted, denied benefits, or were unable to obtain leave because of being pregnant, you may be entitled to a pregnancy discrimination claim. You may be able to recover compensation for lost wages, back pay, lost benefits, among other damages.
