Pregnancy Discrimination
Pregnancy discrimination is a form of unlawful sex discrimination. Female employees are protected from pregnancy discrimination in the workplace by federal and state laws. Pregnancy discrimination in the workplace is not uncommon. Female employees in more "enlightened" work environments often feel as if they should conceal a pregnancy for fear that it will impact their employment and career.

Pregnancy discrimination occurs in employment when female employees are treated differently because of pregnancy. Pregnancy discrimination may motivate hiring decisions, disciplinary decisions, or termination decisions, and attitudes about pregnancy can influence perceptions of performance and conduct.


Moreover, the Family and Medical Leave Act requires covered employers to provide protected pregnancy leave to covered employees.  And employers are required to treat pregnant employees with the same consideration, in relation to their terms of work, as they would non-pregnant employees.  An employer's failure to provide leave or an otherwise unfavorable decision relating to the employment of a pregnant employee may constitute unlawful pregnancy discrimination.

And pregnancy discrimination in the workplace is unlawful.

Any employee suspecting that her pregnancy has factored into an adverse employment decision should consider the possibility that the decision constitutes unlawful pregnancy discrimination and should contact an employment lawyer.
