Pregnant Employees Are Protected by the FMLA and the CFRA

There are both state and federal laws that offer protection in the workplace to pregnant women. The Family and Medical Leave Act and the California Family Rights Act establish your rights as a pregnant employee and provide means by which you can seek redress for any violation of your rights.

Some common ways in which pregnant employees face discrimination include:

• Termination before, during or following pregnancy leave
• Demotion before, during or following pregnancy leave
• Reduction in responsibilities
• Removal from prestigious assignments
• Direct interference with your pregnancy leave

Client Testimonials:

I was terminated when I was pregnant. Kelly and her associate were a great team and very on top of their work. They ... presented my case beautifully to the other party. After seeing them at work and being so precise, so relaxed and on top of every little detail, my nerves disappeared and I felt very confident ... Kelly is a sweet, but strong woman who was very dedicated to me and this case. I appreciate everything that the whole firm did for me ... if I had to recommend anyone I would only say The Armstrong Law Firm."

I worked as a successful, high performing executive for a high tech company for over four years ... my employer terminated me just one month after I gave birth while I was on maternity leave saying that the company was "restructuring." I knew their reason was false and immediately hired The Armstrong Law Firm for aggressive, highly knowledgeable and effective representation. They were willing to go all the way for me. My case ended up settling later and I definitely recommend The Armstrong Law Firm to all women seeking aggressive lawyers willing to fight all the way to trial for them if necessary."
