Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) on Pregnancy Discrimination
What is Pregnancy Discrimination?
Pregnancy discrimination occurs when an employee or job applicant is treated unfairly due to pregnancy, childbirth, or related medical conditions. This can include being denied a job, promotion, or accommodations, or being fired because of pregnancy.
How do I know if I’ve been discriminated against because of my pregnancy?
If you experience actions such as demotion, termination, refusal of accommodations, or negative comments related to your pregnancy, you may be facing discrimination. Document these incidents and consult an attorney to review your case.
Can I be fired for taking maternity leave?
No. Under the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) and other state laws, eligible employees are entitled to take maternity leave without the risk of being fired for doing so.
What should I do if I believe I am facing pregnancy discrimination?
Start by documenting any discriminatory actions, such as comments or changes in job duties. Report the issue to your HR department. If the matter isn’t resolved or if you face retaliation, contact a legal expert like Smith Labor Law to explore your options.
What laws protect me from Pregnancy Discrimination?
The Pregnancy Discrimination Act (PDA) and the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) offer federal protections. State laws, like California’s Fair Employment and Housing Act (FEHA), may provide additional protections.
What accommodations am I entitled to as a pregnant employee?
You are entitled to reasonable accommodations, such as modified duties, adjusted schedules, or medical leave, to help you perform your job safely. These accommodations are required by law and are designed to ensure your health and well-being during pregnancy.
How can Smith Labor Law help me with my pregnancy discrimination case?
At Smith Labor Law, we specialize in pregnancy discrimination cases. We will evaluate your case, provide guidance on how to assert your rights, and represent you in negotiations or court proceedings to secure justice and compensation.
What can I expect during the legal process?
The legal process may involve filing a complaint with the appropriate agency, negotiating with your employer, and possibly going to court. Smith Labor Law will guide you every step of the way, keeping you informed and ensuring your rights are protected throughout the process.
