Does a potential new hire have an obligation to tell me they're pregnant before I hire them?
HRCalifornia
No, you cannot ask a potential or new employee whether they're pregnant or are planning to become pregnant.
In addition, you cannot make an employment decision based upon their pregnancy or intention to become pregnant without violating California and federal law.
