When you experience an adverse employment action at work due to pregnancy, you may be entitled to recover damages.
Pregnancy discrimination occurs when an employee is treated unfavorably because of pregnancy, childbirth, or a medical condition related to pregnancy or childbirth. This includes hiring, firing, promotions, job assignments, training, benefits, and any other term or condition of employment.
Common reasons for pregnancy discrimination include failure to provide reasonable accommodations, harassment because of pregnancy, and treating an employee less favorably because of pregnancy or a related medical condition.
Proving pregnancy discrimination typically involves gathering evidence such as medical records, emails, witness statements, performance reviews, and any documentation of discriminatory remarks or actions. Consulting with an employment attorney can help you build a strong case.
If you believe you were discriminated against because of your pregnancy, you should document all relevant information, gather evidence, and consult with an employment attorney. You may need to file a complaint with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) or your state’s labor department.
Compensation for pregnancy discrimination can include lost wages, back pay, reinstatement to your former position, compensation for emotional distress, and punitive damages. The specific compensation depends on the circumstances of your case and state laws.
The PDA is a federal law that prohibits discrimination based on pregnancy, childbirth, or related medical conditions. It requires that pregnant employees be treated the same as other employees who are similar in their ability or inability to work.
Reasonable accommodations for pregnancy may include modifications or adjustments to a job or work environment that enable an employee to perform essential job functions. Examples include more frequent breaks, modified work schedules, and temporary job restructuring.
If your employer denies your request for reasonable accommodations due to pregnancy, you should ask for the denial in writing, gather any relevant documentation, and consult with an employment attorney. You may need to file a complaint with the EEOC or your state’s labor department.
