Under State law, employers should never force any pregnant employee to take a leave of pregnancy disability or absence, which she hasn\u2019t requested.<\/p>\n

In any case this happens, employers should provide workplace accommodations as well as job-protected leave due to childbirth, pregnancy, or any other related medical conditions.

All employees in a given workplace often have same rights whenever they operating in a given city.<\/p>\n

What is a mother is unable to continue with a job after pregnancy?<\/p>\n

According to the state and federal law, any employer must be able to treat a pregnant employee who may be temporarily unable to do their job descriptions due to pregnancy or have temporary disability. During the process, both employee and employer can negotiate new terms of employment in case of these events.<\/p>\n
