An employer may not single out pregnancy-related conditions for special procedures to determine an employee’s ability to work. However, if an employer requires its employees to submit a doctor’s statement concerning their inability to work before granting leave or paying sick benefits, the employer may require employees affected by pregnancy-related conditions to submit such statements.
If an employee is temporarily unable to perform her job due to pregnancy, the employer must treat her the same as any other temporarily disabled employee. For example, if the employer allows temporarily disabled employees to modify tasks, perform alternative assignments or take disability leave or leave without pay, the employer also must allow an employee who is temporarily disabled due to pregnancy to do the same.
Pregnant employees must be permitted to work as long as they are able to perform their jobs. If an employee has been absent from work as a result of a pregnancy-related condition and recovers, her employer may not require her to remain on leave until the baby’s birth. An employer also may not have a rule that prohibits an employee from returning to work for a predetermined length of time after childbirth.
Employers must hold open a job for a pregnancy-related absence the same length of time jobs are held open for employees on sick or disability leave.

To prevent Erb’s Palsy, the physician should provide skilled maneuvers and appropriate amount of labor management during deliveries where you think that complications may occur. The risk factors can be discovered through ultrasound, and should be evaluated during pregnancy. Women that are at great risk should be informed and shown a medical plan on how this will be handled if ever it appeared during delivery.
In addition, trauma during delivery can also cause Erb’s palsy including a protracted phase of first or second stage labor, use of vacuum delivery, or use of forceps. Avoidance of these in risky deliveries will decrease the chance of the occurrence of the complication.
