Understanding Pregnancy Discrimination
Definition and Examples of Pregnancy Discrimination
Pregnancy discrimination occurs when an employer treats an employee or job applicant unfairly due to pregnancy, childbirth, or a related medical condition. This can take many forms in the workplace. For instance, an employer may refuse to hire someone because they are visibly pregnant.
Other forms of discrimination include demoting or firing someone after they announce a pregnancy, denying reasonable accommodations for pregnancy-related needs, or reducing hours and responsibilities without cause. Some employers may even prevent pregnant employees from taking part in training or advancement opportunities.
