Understanding Pregnancy Discrimination: Protecting Your Rights

When you are expecting a baby or have just had a child, you have every right to experience the joy of motherhood without worry or concern over your position or career. However, pregnancy discrimination is an unfortunate reality that affects a significant number of working women.

When dealing with pregnancy leave, employers must consider several laws, including California Pregnancy Leave, FMLA/CRFA, Reasonable Accommodations under FEHA, and potentially other Federal laws, including the Pregnancy Discrimination Act of 1978 (PDA).

The PDA was enacted to safeguard the rights of pregnant individuals in the workplace by prohibiting unfair treatment from employers. Under this law, hiring, firing, promotions, job assignments, and other employment-related decisions must be based on skills and qualifications, not pregnancy status.

Additionally, the PDA states that employers provide reasonable accommodations to pregnant employees to ensure that their health and well-being are not jeopardized.

These accommodations can range from allowing frequent breaks and time off for medical appointments to adjustments to a member of staff's workload if they are expecting. It also states employees must ensure pregnant employees are not exposed to workplace hazards.

If you feel like your employer has treated you unfavorably due to pregnancy, childbirth, or other related medical conditions, there is a high likelihood that you have been a victim of discrimination. It's essential to recognize that this is a form of discrimination, and it is not only unfair but illegal.

You deserve to have protection and feel it’s completely ok to have a baby while still carrying on with your job while feeling safe in the knowledge your rights are safeguarded.

Real-Life Impact: Examples of Pregnancy Discrimination and Your Legal Rights

Pregnancy discrimination can manifest in various ways, making it crucial to understand the different forms it can take. Some examples of pregnancy discrimination include:

Denial of Employment Opportunities

You feel you missed out on a promotion or a job because you were pregnant or had just had a baby. Or you feel you have suffered unjust harm in some way.

Termination

You have lost your job without a valid reason or due process, causing financial and emotional distress.

Unfair Performance Evaluations

You have been the victim of a biased assessment that has undermined your abilities, which has led to a professional setback and potential discrimination.

Failure to Provide Reasonable Accommodations

You were not given the opportunity to accommodate your pregnancy or your childcare situation, which resulted in you losing your ability to perform job tasks and thrive in the workplace.

Harassment Based on Pregnancy

You feel you were the victim of unwelcome behavior, creating a hostile work environment that violated your rights.

If you have experienced any of these situations, you may have grounds for a pregnancy discrimination lawsuit. Our skilled pregnancy discrimination lawyers will assess the merits of your case, review evidence, interview witnesses, and present a compelling argument to secure the compensation and justice you deserve.

Filing Your Pregnancy Discrimination Case: Get Your Voice Heard

Our pregnancy discrimination lawyers are also well-versed in the laws surrounding disability maternity leave, including the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and relevant state regulations.

We will ensure you receive the appropriate accommodations and leave necessary for your well-being and the well-being of your child.

If your employer has unlawfully denied you leave or subjected you to adverse employment actions due to your pregnancy, our skilled lawyers will fight diligently to hold them accountable.

Protecting Your Rights: Disability Discrimination and the Law

In the workplace, disabled employees face a multitude of challenges. Unfortunately, many people who have a disability can also experience discrimination - a form of prejudice that occurs when an employer mistreats a disabled worker due to their disability. This is an act prohibited by law.

Along with pregnancy discrimination, disability discrimination is a growing concern that deserves attention and support to ensure equal opportunities for every employee.
