Understand your legal options
Pregnant women are protected by a number of state and federal laws, making it unlawful for an employer to take any of these actions:
- During a job interview, bring up the subject of your pregnancy or desire to become pregnant.
- Due to your pregnancy, discriminate against you in hiring, firing, promotions, training, scheduling, and other areas
- As a result of your pregnancy, forcing you to accept fewer hours or responsibilities
- Refuse to make reasonable adjustments such as extended relaxation periods or a temporary change in job responsibilities
- Deny you any maternity or pregnancy disability leave to which you may be entitled
- Retaliate against you because you asked for or took time off
Come to PLBH if you have questions concerning any of these scenarios. Our pregnancy discrimination lawyers are well-versed in all elements of pregnancy-related employment legislation and can help you understand your options.
With a pregnancy discrimination complaint, what can you achieve?
A pregnancy discrimination lawsuit should be pursued for three reasons:
- You wish to reclaim your position, hours, or promotion. A formal complaint can help you get back on your feet if you’ve been fired, had your hours reduced, or missed out on a well-deserved promotion because of pregnancy discrimination. Employers frequently agree to reverse discriminatory actions through mediation or arbitration, but a court order can also be obtained.
- You’re looking for a financial reward. Discrimination creates harm, and you are entitled to be compensated for it. Compensation may be provided to replace lost earnings, mental distress, and legal costs.
- You expect more from your employer. Employers will continue to conduct discrimination if no one speaks up against it. You are taking a position that will benefit all women and families by filing a complaint and/or filing a pregnancy discrimination case.
These are three of the most common reasons but you might have your own personal reasons.
