The Fair Employment and Housing Act (FEHA), a California labor law aimed at protecting worker’s rights, prohibits the employer from discriminating or harassing an employee because of her pregnancy.

Conditions for Leave

Employees can only take pregnancy disability leave only if:

• They are actually disabled by pregnancy, childbirth, or a related medical condition and
• They are unable to perform one or more essential functions of their jobs without undue risk to themselves or to other persons or without undue risk to successful completion of their pregnancies

Right to Return to Same Position

Employees returning after four month leave have the right to return to the same position:

• An employer cannot refuse to return a woman who has taken pregnancy leave to her original position if they like her temporary replacement better or
• If while she was out on leave her employer identified performance deficiencies that existed prior to her leave.
