California Court of Appeal

The allegations of plaintiff's first amended complaint are sufficient to state a prima facie case under the California Fair Employment and Housing Act (FEHA) for employment discrimination, even though plaintiff exhausted all permissible leave available under the Pregnancy Disability Leave Law (PDLL) after which defendant-employer terminated her due to her failure to return to work as a result of her high risk pregnancy, because the plain language of the PDLL makes clear that its remedies augment, rather than supplant, those set forth elsewhere in the FEHA.
