San Francisco Pregnancy Discrimination Attorney

Eisenberg & Associates is an employment law firm that assists expecting employees and new mothers in San Francisco who have concerns about unlawful treatment at work under state law.

Defining Pregnancy Discrimination

When a workplace puts an employee at a disadvantage because she is expecting, has delivered a child, or has a health issue arising from pregnancy, the conduct may be unlawful discrimination.

The laws of California reach both current employees and job seekers. Coverage can extend to recruiting, layoffs, firings, salary, advancement, duties, the working environment, and more.

Often, the conduct is subtle.

Remarks that may raise concern:

  • “Our team needs someone who never has to step away.”
  • “Maybe this workload is too heavy for you at present.”
  • “Having a newborn could make this position tough.”
  • “We’d rather hire someone with fewer limitations.”

Eisenberg & Associates speaks with employees in San Francisco who face differential treatment over pregnancy, pregnancy-linked harassment, refused accommodations, unlawful termination, retaliation, or trouble involving pregnancy and medical leave.

How a San Francisco Attorney May Support You

Unfair treatment linked to pregnancy is sometimes hard to recognize.

In some cases, an employer comments directly on the pregnancy. In others, the treatment develops quietly. An employee may receive sudden criticism in reviews, lose scheduled hours, be pulled from important assignments, or be told her position no longer exists.

At Eisenberg & Associates, we review the situation as a whole.

We can talk with you about whether your employer’s conduct may have affected your legal rights and which options may be open to you.
