California Employment Laws
California provides some of the strongest workplace protections for employees:
FEHA (Gov. Code § 12940)
“It is an unlawful employment practice … for an employer … because of the … physical disability, mental disability … of any person, to refuse to hire … or to discriminate against the person in compensation or in terms, conditions, or privileges of employment”
Employers may also not retaliate under subsection (h): “because the person has opposed any practices forbidden under this statute or … filed a complaint”
Pregnancy Disability Leave (Cal. Gov. Code § 12945(a)(1))
“For an employer to refuse to allow an employee disabled by pregnancy … to take a leave for a reasonable period of time not to exceed four months and thereafter return to work” is unlawful.
CFRA (Cal. Gov. Code § 12945.2)
Eligible employees may take up to 12 workweeks of leave to bond with a new child or care for a family member and must be reinstated to the same or comparable position upon return.
