Pregnancy Discrimination

Federal and some state/local laws prohibit employment discrimination on the basis of pregnancy. For example, an employer may not fire women who become pregnant or refuse to hire pregnant women. Moreover, an employer may not treat pregnant employees differently than other employees. For example, if an employer puts employees with temporary disabilities on “light work,” the employer must also allow pregnant employees to perform these same types of work assignments.
Other examples include harassing a pregnant employee, denying a promotion to or demoting a pregnant employee, refusing to reasonably accommodate a pregnant employee, restricting medical leave for pregnant employees, or retaliating against a pregnant employee or one of her supporters.
