Understanding Pregnancy Discrimination in Irvine

Pregnancy discrimination remains an unfortunate reality in Irvine and across California. With 51% of the city’s population of 314,615 residents being female and 3.8% of women giving birth in a given year, pregnancy-related matters can affect any workplace in Northwood Pointe, Woodbury, Walnut, and elsewhere in Irvine.

Pregnancy discrimination occurs when an employer treats a worker unfavorably because of pregnancy, childbirth, or related medical conditions. Common examples include:

Termination, demotion, or reduced hours after disclosing a pregnancy
Denial or reasonable accommodations
Refusal to allow pregnancy-related leave
Retaliation for requesting pregnancy leave or workplace accommodations

Several laws may apply to these cases, including the federal Pregnancy Discrimination Act, the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA), California’s Fair Employment and Housing Act, and the Pregnancy Discrimination Leave Law. Since 1993, over 60 million people have taken protected time off work under FMLA, and denials of these and related requests can leave employers liable for damages.

Compensation You May Be Owed

With support from a pregnancy discrimination lawyer, workers can seek compensation and remedies that address the harm and work-related setbacks they endured due to pregnancy discrimination. This may include:

Back pay for lost wages
Recouping lost employment benefits
Reinstatement in former positions following a wrongful termination or demotion

When reinstatement is not practical, a settlement could focus on compensating workers for future lost earnings. The remedies for a specific case depend on the type of losses the worker incurred and the degree of willful misconduct conducted by the employer. Legal representation can play a crucial role in fully accounting for the harm someone suffered due to pregnancy discrimination.

Hire a Pregnancy Discrimination Lawyer

Attempting to secure compensation for pregnancy discrimination without legal representation could lead to unfavorable outcomes. Employers may deny liability or seek to minimize the compensation offered through a settlement.

When you hire a pregnancy discrimination lawyer, you gain the support of an Irvine pregnancy discrimination attorney who understands California’s pregnancy discrimination laws and how they apply to your pregnancy discrimination case.

An attorney can remove you from the center of a stressful dispute by directly handling negotiations with your employer. If an administrative complaint is appropriate, your lawyer can gather evidence and file a complaint with the right government agency. Lawyers are also skilled litigators who can take matters to court when seeking full compensation for the harm you endured.

FAQs

How Is Compensation Calculated in a Pregnancy Discrimination Case in California?

The amount and type of compensation paid out in a pregnancy discrimination case in California depends on the degree of harm the worker suffered and the level of misconduct the employer committed. An employment law attorney can gather evidence to document lost wages, lost benefits, reduced hours, missed bonuses, and other losses. If reinstatement is not practical in a wrongful termination case, the settlement can account for future lost earnings.

What Evidence Is Used to Prove Pregnancy Discrimination at Work?

Evidence plays a crucial role in a pregnancy discrimination case. Common evidence includes emails, messages from an employer, HR records, witness statements, and comparisons with non-pregnancy employees who were treated more favorably under similar circumstances. Statements from the affected worker can also play a key role in documenting harm and losses.

How Can I Maximize the Compensation That I Receive from a Pregnancy Discrimination Claim?

You can maximize the compensation that you receive from a pregnancy discrimination claim by working with an experienced employment law attorney to gather the evidence needed for an administrative complaint or civil court filing. Working with an experienced and respected attorney can help you maximize compensation because lawyers are skilled negotiators and litigators who are focused on your rights and interests.

How Are Pregnancy Discrimination Lawyers Typically Paid in California?

Pregnancy discrimination lawyers are typically paid on a contingency fee basis. This means that they are only paid once they secure fair compensation for the harm you endured. A reputable attorney should be open about their billing practices and fee structure. Once they secure compensation through a settlement or favorable court verdict, they deduct a percentage for the legal services they provided. Speak to an attorney during an initial consultation to find out their specific fee structure.
