Legal Question in Employment Law in California

Re: terminated due to pregnancy

Most likely not. Both the pregnancy anti-discrimination act, and Fair Employment and Housing Act (FEHA), make it unlawful to take adverse employment action against employees because of pregnancy or other medical condition/disability.

Thanks.

Re: terminated due to pregnancy

A termination may not be based on an individual being pregnant. It would clearly be discriminatory. Additionally, the Pregnancy Disability Leave law allows individuals to take up to four months of unpaid leave to deal with pregnancy complications or to spend time with one's child. There are other leave laws that may come into play too, including the California Family Rights Act.
