Pregnancy Workplace Rights California

Summary

California law mandates that employers provide reasonable accommodations for pregnant employees under the Pregnancy Disability Leave law. Employers should not discriminate or retaliate against employees for pregnancy-related requests. If your employer is not accommodating your needs, it is important to communicate clearly and submit a formal written request for accommodations. Consider discussing your situation with your employer and, if necessary, seek legal advice from an employment attorney to ensure your rights are protected.
