Employment Laws

The number of employment laws in California are astounding even to an employee lawyer. Each year the California legislature enacts more employment laws, many of great complexity which apply to small employers, Gerber said.
The Employment Lawyers Group, lead by Karl Gerber, has potentially handled more employee lawsuits than any other California employee law firm. Gerber began representing employees in 1993 which was before the gigantic explosion of employee lawsuits.

Notwithstanding the multiplicity of lawsuits by employees, and the limelight all of the newly enacted labor laws both on the California level and the national level, including amendments to the ADA, many management lawyers continue to live in the land of believing religion and disability cannot be accomodated. Their notions, including the motions they bring, are repugnant. Recently, in a pregnancy discrimination lawsuit a female defense lawyer told me usually the expectation is if an employee gives a medical note about pregnancy restrictions they should expect not to have a job. Presently, I am dealing with a summary judgment motion in which a large employer thinks every business that is busy, or has unpredictable business, should not have to accomodate Sabbath observance and/or that is not really a religious basis. I could go on  and on

Pregnant Employees Should Not Be Mistreated

In both California and on the national level pregnant employees have rights. They are entitled to leaves of absence due to pregnancy related medical conditions, including childbirth. Pregnant women should also be accomodated due to their pregnancies. Accomodations include time off for medical appointments, for child birth, and recovery. It is also illegal to fire an employee due to pregnancy.

There are limitations to the rights of pregnant employees. These limitations relate to the length of leave, and other factors.

It is best to consult an employee labor lawyer in your state to determine what your rights are as a pregnant employee. Bottom line:
Pregnant Employees Have Rights - Stay happy so you can enjoy them once they start walking!
