If your employer terminated you while you were on medical leave, FMLA, CFRA, pregnancy leave, or disability leave — your rights have likely been violated. California law is clear. We hold employers accountable.

Does this sound like you?
Your doctor put you out. Your employer fired you for needing too much time off, or because you were "not eligible" for medical leave.
You took California Family Rights Act leave and came back to a termination notice — or never got your job back.
You were on federal Family and Medical Leave and your employer used the leave as an excuse to push you out.
You told your employer you were pregnant — or took pregnancy disability leave — and were then terminated or forced out.
You had your baby but your doctor extended your leave because of symptoms of postpartum depression or other issues related to your pregnancy — and your employer fired you, claiming you were not entitled to additional leave and refusing to accommodate your requested leave.
You asked for an accommodation for a disability or serious health condition and your employer fired you instead of engaging.
The Law Is On Your Side
If you were fired for leave related to a mental or physical health condition, the law is on your side.
California has some of the strongest employee protections in the nation. If your employer fired you, forced you out, or refused to reinstate you because of a medical condition, disability, pregnancy, or protected leave — that is likely a violation of state and federal law.
You may be entitled to lost wages, emotional distress damages, punitive damages, and attorney's fees. And you pay nothing unless we recover.
