FAQ

Before you file a pregnancy discrimination claim with a court, you have to first file an administrative claim through the state agency, the California Department of Fair Employment and Housing (DFEH) or the federal agency, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC).

To successfully win a pregnancy discrimination claim, an employee must provide evidence showing that her pregnancy was a substantial motivating reason for an adverse employment (such as a demotion, a write up and, of course, a termination) and that other employees in similar situations were treated differently.

This is called pregnancy discrimination. Under federal, state, and local anti-discrimination laws, employers cannot treat you unfavorably because you are pregnant, recovering from childbirth, or have a medical condition related to your pregnancy or childbirth.

Proving pregnancy discrimination requires more than a victim's claim. There must be evidence that the employer acted against the individual exclusively based on their pregnancy. That evidence must be clear, inarguable, and documented.

Average Pregnancy Discrimination Settlement in California Complexity of CaseAverage California Pregnancy Discrimination Settlement Minor Approximately: $50,000 – $100,000 Moderate Approximately: $100,000 – $250,000 High Approximately: $250,000 – $1,000,000

To prove this kind of discrimination, you need to demonstrate that your employer treated you differently because you are or were recently pregnant. If your pregnancy prompted a harmful employment decision, such as termination or failure to promote, compensation may be available.

Employers must treat women temporarily unable to perform their jobs due to pregnancy, childbirth, or a related medical condition the same as any other temporarily disabled employees similar in their ability or inability to work.

If you're experiencing severe pregnancy-related symptoms that impact your ability to work, you have the right to request reasonable accommodations from your employer. This could include adjustments to your work schedule, duties, or work location, such as remote work.

A woman who is having a normal, healthy pregnancy can work right up until the start of labour. However, you can choose to stop working whenever suits you. Some women choose to stop several weeks before their due date but others will be at work even in early labour.
