Eisenberg & Associates is a California employment law firm that helps pregnant employees and new mothers in Walnut Creek with concerns about unfair treatment at work under California law.
Pregnancy discrimination can take place when an employer treats an employee less favorably because of pregnancy, childbirth, or a medical condition connected to pregnancy.
California law offers protections to both employees and job applicants in these situations. Those protections may relate to hiring, termination, pay, promotions, job duties, working conditions, and other parts of employment.
Pregnancy discrimination is not always easy to notice.
For example, an employer might say things like:
Eisenberg & Associates works with employees in Walnut Creek and the surrounding area who are dealing with pregnancy discrimination, harassment related to pregnancy, denied accommodations, wrongful termination, retaliation, or difficulties involving pregnancy and medical leave.
Unfair treatment during pregnancy is sometimes hard to identify.
In some cases, an employer makes a direct comment about a pregnancy. In others, the treatment changes quietly over time. An employee may start receiving negative performance reviews, see their hours reduced, be taken off important projects, or be told that their position is no longer available.
At Eisenberg & Associates, we look at the situation as a whole.
We can talk with you about whether your employer’s actions may have affected your rights and what options may be available to you.
