Pregnancy Discrimination
Failures to reasonably accommodate pregnancy-related medical conditions or pregnancy-based disparate treatment.
In plain terms
California expects employers to work in good faith when pregnancy or related medical limitations affect someone’s ability to work—similar in spirit to disability accommodation, with its own statutory details. That can mean schedule changes, lighter duties, seating, parking, or temporary transfer when a healthcare provider ties the need to pregnancy. Denials of leave or failures to bring someone back to a comparable job after leave also show up frequently in these disputes.
