Pregnancy Discrimination

Fighting Against Pregnancy Discrimination In the Workplace

Pregnancy Discrimination has no place in the workplace, and at Michael Yerzinkyan Law, we fight passionately against all forms of pregnancy discrimination. California and federal laws prohibit pregnancy discrimination and harassment. The more expansive California Fair Employment and Housing Act (FEHA) specifically prohibits employers from terminating, demoting, retaliating against, or otherwise taking adverse action against an employee who is pregnant, plans to become pregnant, or who has a medical condition related to pregnancy. Moreover, under the California Pregnancy Disability Leave Act, a covered employer must allow an employee who has become disabled by pregnancy, childbirth, or a related medical condition, to take a leave of absence.

​

Despite these legal protections, countless employers continue to illegally discriminate against employees based upon pregnancy. Here at Michael Yerzinkyan Law, our legal team is dedicated to securing justice and the compensastion you are owed. If you've experienced pregnancy discrimination in the workplace, trust us to be your advocates, working tirelessly to bring about fair and equitable resolutions while championing diversity and inclusivity.
