WOMAN FIRED FOR TAKING MATERNITY LEAVE. NOT OK IN THE LA COUNTY, CA WORKPLACE.

In California, it is against the law for your employer to take adverse action against you because you are pregnant. This includes firing you for requesting and / or taking maternity leave, having to leave work for doctor’s appointments, or otherwise discriminating against you because you are pregnant. If you are a pregnant female who believes your CA employer has discriminated against you, the law is on your side. Call an experienced employment lawyer today.

When a woman for a large drug company was let go right after going on maternity leave, at seven and a half months pregnant, she was shocked. By all reports she was a great employee. The maternity leave had been approved through human resources and she was planning on coming back to work after giving birth to her child. Not only was that not possible, but she found it very difficult to find a job so far along in her pregnancy, since employers knew she would be taking time off for maternity leave in the near future.
