What laws do employers have to violate for a family and medical leave lawsuit?
Pregnancy leave is a common example. The California Fair Employment and Housing Act makes it illegal for companies to demote, fire, or in any other way discriminate against a worker because of her pregnancy, or for her decision to request pregnancy leave.
California’s Pregnancy Disability Leave Law also requires companies to provide employees with four months of leave for employees who need medical leave as a result of their pregnancy.
Cases Taken On Contingency
We do not charge for an initial consultation, and Baker Law Group, LLP, takes most wrongful termination cases on contingency, meaning you don’t pay until you win. When you contact Baker Law Group, LLP, we can tell you if a contingency fee structure is right for your case.
