San Francisco FMLA Rights Lawyers

Telling your employer that you need to take a leave of absence due to pregnancy can be an intimidating experience. You may be afraid that your supervisor will fire you or give you a bad performance review if you take the leave that you are legally entitled to.

Speak to a San Francisco Pregnancy Leave Attorney

At The Armstrong Law Firm, our San Francisco pregnancy leave lawyers will work with you to ensure that you have the full protection you deserve under state and federal law. Protecting employees is our law firm's core mission, and one area that we see employers wrongfully terminating employees is when they take a leave of absence for pregnancy.

Can My Employer Stop Me From Taking Pregnancy Leave?

In San Francisco, you have the right to take pregnancy leave under the federal Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) and the California Family Rights Act (CFRA). Furthermore, an employer cannot interfere with your right to take a leave of absence or retaliate against you upon your return from leave.

The following are examples of illegal employer actions:

Trying to intimidate you into not taking pregnancy leave.
Firing you.
Demoting you.
Assigning you undesirable job duties.
Transferring you to a less desirable location.
Threatening to deny future promotions.
Reducing or threatening to reduce your pay.

If you have any questions about your legal rights, our firm is ready to advise you at every step of the process. We represent employees throughout the San Francisco Bay Area.

Client Testimonial:

"I hired Kelly Armstrong to represent me in a wrongful termination claim. Her firm was very knowledgeable and aggressive in representing me against a company that didn't take my claims seriously until I hired Kelly. The firm assembled a team of excellent lawyers that worked night and day for me to give me the best representation possible. I recommend them to employees who need strong lawyers to bring employment claims against employers." - Henry L., January 14, 2013

"I was sexually harassed by my boss and was scared to come forward because I could not afford to lose my job. He did terrible things to me and management didn't respond to my complaints until I hired Kelly Armstrong and her firm. They supported me and represented me with a comprehensive knowledge of sexual harassment law and advocacy until we got a result that I am very happy with. I recommend The Armstrong Law Firm to all sexual harassment victims." - Janet D., January 10, 2013

"My manager began harassing me and discriminating against me after he learned I had a disability. He was very abusive and I am the primary breadwinner for my family and children so I was scared to lose my job. He wrongfully terminated me based on false poor work performance, but The Armstrong Law Firm took my case and made fighting for me and my wrongful termination top priority until they got me a result that allowed my family and I to have closure and move forward with our lives. I am very relieved." - Steve A., January 6, 2013
