Title VII of Federal law protects pregnant women. While it does not provide pregnant employees with a specific right to have pregnancy leave granted by an employer, it does provide employees with other protections. Under federal law, an employer must grant employees medical leave. This medical leave also applies to pregnant women.

An employer is also forbidden under federal law, to discriminate against a pregnant employee based on her pregnancy, childbirth, potential pregnancy, or similar conditions. If you are a Bay Area employee and believe that your employer has violated your federal rights by not providing you proper leave, or has discriminated against you based on your pregnancy, call Law Offices of David H.
