Eisenberg & Associates is a California employment law firm that speaks with pregnant employees and new mothers in San Mateo who believe their workplace treated them unfairly, and it can discuss how state law may apply to what they went through.
An employer may be acting unlawfully when it makes choices about a worker, or treats her differently from others, because of a pregnancy, a recent childbirth, or a medical condition that develops from pregnancy.
California law offers protection to people who are already employed and to those applying for positions. The protections can relate to recruitment, dismissals, earnings, promotions, assignments, the setting in which someone works, and other parts of a job.
The behavior is often easy to overlook.
Things an employee might hear include:
Eisenberg & Associates speaks with San Mateo employees who are experiencing unequal treatment connected to pregnancy, unwelcome conduct related to pregnancy, declined accommodation requests, wrongful dismissal, retaliation, or complications with pregnancy and medical leave.
Discrimination during pregnancy can be difficult to identify.
At times an employer comments openly on a pregnancy. At other times the changes creep in: a run of unexpected criticism, fewer scheduled hours, the loss of important assignments, or word that the position is gone.
At Eisenberg & Associates, our attorneys consider the entire course of events, not just one moment.
We can help you think through whether your employer’s conduct may have affected your legal rights and which options might be open to you.
Our San Mateo attorneys can talk with you about matters such as:
Our firm handles workplace legal issues that affect California employees, such as discrimination, retaliation, wrongful termination, and similar disputes. We are familiar with the state laws that address pregnancy and the health conditions that can come with it.
Employees who qualify in California are protected against unfair treatment based on pregnancy, childbirth, and connected medical conditions. If you think your pregnancy shaped how your employer behaved, we can review the facts alongside you and explain how the law may relate to them.
Nobody needs legal training to reach out. We listen to your story, go over the details with you, and describe the possibilities in clear, everyday terms so you can feel ready to make your own decision.
If you were mistreated at work because of a pregnancy, a delivery, or a health condition related to either, speaking with an attorney may be a helpful step before you decide what to do.
If you were treated unfairly at work because of pregnancy, childbirth, or a related medical condition, talk to us before you decide anything.
