Eisenberg & Associates is a California employment law firm that supports pregnant workers and new parents in Santa Ana who feel they were treated improperly on the job, and it can explain how California law may connect to their circumstances.
When a company takes action against a worker, or handles her differently, because she is expecting, recently gave birth, or has a health condition that arises from pregnancy, the conduct may be considered pregnancy discrimination.
California law extends protection to current employees and to people looking for work. Those protections can touch on the hiring process, termination, salary, promotions, assigned tasks, the environment a person works in, and other aspects of a job.
The problem does not always announce itself.
Statements a worker might be told include:
Eisenberg & Associates communicates with Santa Ana employees who are confronting biased treatment linked to pregnancy, inappropriate behavior tied to pregnancy, turned-down accommodation requests, wrongful termination, retaliation, or difficulties connected to pregnancy and medical leave.
Bias during pregnancy is not always simple to detect.
Some employers speak plainly about a pregnancy. Others act more subtly, such as by giving poor reviews without explanation, cutting back a worker’s schedule, moving her off major projects, or announcing that her role has ended.
At Eisenberg & Associates, our attorneys consider the full story, not a single event.
We can talk with you about whether your employer’s conduct may have impacted your rights and which options could be worth considering.
