Pregnancy discrimination commonly occurs in the workplace even though it is illegal under federal and California law. If you are pregnant and you are an employee, California is a good place to be. In California, if a pregnant employee develops disabilities due to pregnancy, an employer should provide reasonable accommodations for the employee. The law is not exactly defined as to what reasonable accommodations are, but if an employer would make reasonable accommodations for another employee who had a temporary disability, a pregnant employee should be treated the same way.
