Pregnancy leave

I have an employee that was out on maternity leave. She is ready to come back but wants us to adjust her work hours to accomodate her needs for childcare. This does not work for us. Are we required to accomodate? What options do we have? I am in Calif and I have tried to find the Pregnancy Disability Act for reference but I can't find it anywhere. Any suggestions?

    The Pregnancy Discrimination Act doesn't cover this person since she is not disabled. If you are covered by Family Leave regulations (50 employees), the person could take time for bonding purposes. There are no regulations that require you to accomodate to a persons child care needs, although the failure to try to reach some sort of accomodation may lead to the person leaving, which costs you in another way.
