WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT PREGNANCY DISCRIMINATION CASES
It is illegal for an employer to treat you unfavorably because you are pregnant, recently gave birth, or have a pregnancy‑related medical condition. This includes being fired, demoted, scheduled for fewer hours, denied promotions, or excluded from work opportunities because of your pregnancy. Pregnancy discrimination is considered a form of sex discrimination, and employers are required to treat pregnant employees the same as others with similar ability or inability to work.
Yes. If you need reasonable accommodations due to pregnancy or pregnancy‑related conditions, your employer may be required to provide them. Accommodations can include modified duties, lighter work, more frequent breaks, the ability to sit or stand as needed, or temporary schedule changes. Employers cannot force you onto unpaid leave if a reasonable accommodation would allow you to continue working.
Depending on the facts of your case, you may be entitled to recover lost wages, future lost income, benefits, emotional distress damages, and in some cases punitive damages. If your employer retaliated against you for requesting accommodations or reporting discrimination, additional compensation may apply. A legal evaluation can help determine what damages you may be entitled to and how best to protect your rights.
