What is a California pregnancy discrimination demand letter?
A pregnancy discrimination demand letter is a letter a pregnant employee (or a recently pregnant worker) sends to her employer. The letter “demands” that the employer stop certain discriminating practices against the worker. The employee states within the letter that if these practices are stopped, then she will not take the matter further. If the employer fails to cease the discriminating behavior, however, the letter informs that the employee will notify proper authorities and initiate a civil lawsuit. Pregnancy discrimination letters are often prepared by the employee’s attorney. They also outline the specific facts that give rise to a pregnancy discrimination claim.
