You Have the Right to Work While Pregnant
Is your pregnancy making it difficult to perform job duties? Under California law, an employer must provide reasonable accommodations to a pregnant employee that will allow the employee to perform job functions.

Legal Assistance for Pregnant Workers
Pregnant workers are legally considered disabled under the law. Employers are required to provide reasonable accommodations to pregnant workers. Such accommodations may include:
- Shorter days
- Working from home
- Giving you a lumbar support to reduce back pain
- Allowing you to prop your feet up
- Time off for prenatal doctors appointments
If you are pregnant and your employer treats you unfairly, you may have grounds for both disability discrimination and gender discrimination claims. At Anticouni & Associates, we have been helping California employees since 1979. We give every case the personal attention it deserves.
