How to Handle Severance When You Are Pregnant or On Leave

Episode 51 tackles a sensitive and often overlooked severance scenario: what happens when you're laid off while pregnant, on parental leave, or recovering from childbirth. Lucas and Luna walk through the legal protections under the Pregnancy Discrimination Act and FMLA, explain how severance offers can be structured to waive future claims, and discuss real-world tactics like asking for extended health insurance or delayed termination dates. They also look at the tricky intersection of severance agreements and state family leave programs, using California's Paid Family Leave as a concrete example. If you or someone you know is navigating a layoff during or after pregnancy, this episode gives you the specific questions to ask and the deadlines you cannot miss. #Severance #PregnancyDiscrimination #ParentalLeave #FMLA #PDA #Layoff #EmploymentLaw #KnowYourRights #PaidFamilyLeave #CaliforniaPFLA #Negotiation #SeverancePackage #CareerAdvice #WorkplaceRights #Fexingo #CareersPodcast #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
