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!
