New California Pregnancy Rights Poster

The California Department of Fair Employment and Housing (DFEH) has issued a new pregnancy rights poster for employers to use in satisfying posting requirements under California’s Pregnancy Disability Leave law.

The new poster has the same title, “Your Rights and Obligations as a Pregnant Employee” as the previous pregnancy rights poster known as Notice A.

The new campaign became effective April 1st, but according to the DFEH website employers will not be penalized if they have not replaced Notice A with the new poster by then. The Pregnancy Disability Leave law applies to California employers with five or more employees. Covered California employers should replace Notice A as soon as practicable.
