Both federal and California state laws prohibit employers from discriminating against pregnant employees based on their pregnancy, the birth of their child, or associated medical conditions. Discrimination can include adverse treatment, such as: Termination Unfair discipline Limitation of work hours Denial of employment benefits

  4. Federal and California Law Requires Employers to Provide Accommodations In addition to providing how employers cannot discriminate against pregnant employees, both federal and California law requires employers to provide certain special accommodations for pregnant employees. The federal PDA requires that employers provide the same accommodations for pregnant employees that it must provide for disabled employees under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). This is especially important for soon-to-be-mothers that are having medical complications with their pregnancy and require special accommodations.
