Eisenberg & Associates works with pregnant employees and new parents in San Diego who suspect an employer treated them unlawfully, and it can explain how state protections may relate to their experience.
When an employer puts someone at a disadvantage because she is expecting, has just given birth, or lives with a health condition that stems from pregnancy, that treatment may qualify as discrimination.
Under California law, both current employees and job applicants may have protection. It can reach recruiting, layoffs, pay, advancement, job tasks, workplace conditions, and other aspects of employment.
The behavior is not always easy to see.
