PREGNANCY DISCRIMINATION REQUIREMENTS UNDER STATE OF CALIFORNIA AND FEDERAL LAW

For many women, being pregnant is a very natural and normal part of life. It has become increasingly common for women to work throughout their pregnancies up until they are ready to give birth. Unfortunately women are often discriminated against in the workplace because they are pregnant.

Pregnancy discrimination occurs when a pregnant employee or applicant is unfairly treated because she is pregnant, out for childbirth or experiencing a medical or physical condition that results from pregnancy or childbirth.
