Reasonable Accommodation
Under the
California Fair Employment and Housing Act, it is unlawful
for an employer to refuse to provide a reasonable accommodation requested by an
employee for conditions of pregnancy, childbirth, or related medical
conditions. The request must be supported by advice from a doctor or other
healthcare provider. This can include transfer of such an employee to a less
strenuous or hazardous position for the duration of the pregnancy or childbirth
related disability where the transfer can be reasonably achieved. However, the
employer is not obligated to create an entirely new position for the employee
as an accommodation. Employees should also note that the federal Pregnancy
Discrimination Act does not prohibit the denial of personal leave for
breast-feeding and childcare.
