Eisenberg & Associates is a California law firm that welcomes questions from Oakland workers who are expecting or have recently given birth and are concerned about how an employer has handled their job.
A workplace may act unlawfully when pregnancy, childbirth, or a related health condition affects how it treats a person. Employment decisions are meant to rest on job-related reasons, not on someone’s family plans or medical needs.
The law covers current employees as well as applicants. Its reach can include recruiting, terminations, compensation, promotions, assignments, and working conditions.
Bias often shows up quietly.
Remarks that may raise concern:
Eisenberg & Associates hears from workers in Oakland who are dealing with pregnancy bias, harassment, refused accommodations, termination, retaliation, or leave concerns.
It can be hard to tell when a pregnancy is behind a change at work. Some managers say so directly, but many do not. You might notice a sudden drop in positive feedback, fewer scheduled hours, tasks moved to teammates, or word that your job is being reshaped.
Our lawyers review events in order, from start to finish. We can discuss whether the circumstances may have affected your rights and which options may be available.
Our Oakland attorneys can discuss:
Our work centers on employee-side disputes such as discrimination, retaliation, and unlawful termination. We keep current on California statutes that touch on pregnancy and related health conditions.
Qualifying employees are protected from being treated worse because of pregnancy, birth, or connected conditions. If you think pregnancy was a factor in your employer's choices, we can review the facts with you and describe how these protections might connect.
There's no need to know legal terms beforehand. We listen, ask clarifying questions, and describe your options simply so you can decide with a clear head.
If pregnancy, childbirth, or a related condition seems tied to unfair treatment at your Oakland job, speaking with an attorney first may help.
If you were treated unfairly at work because of pregnancy, childbirth, or a related medical condition, talk to us before you decide anything.
✓ Free, confidential, and no obligation
Workers who face unequal treatment because of pregnancy, a related condition, or needed leave may have rights under California law.
Hard situations can be difficult to explain. We let you describe events your own way, then walk through the possible directions in everyday language.
State law prohibits workplace discrimination based on pregnancy, childbirth, and related conditions. Eligible employees may also have rights to reasonable accommodations and Pregnancy Disability Leave (PDL).
