Pregnancy discrimination occurs when an employer, supervisor, co-worker,
business partner, client, or customer treats an applicant or employee
differently based on her pregnancy, childbirth, or pregnancy-related
conditions.
In order to have a strong case, you will need evidence of pregnancy discrimination that goes beyond your own verbal accounts. Before contacting a lawyer for pregnancy discrimination, read through the information below to ensure you have sufficient evidence to make a claim.
To win a pregnancy discrimination case, you must show that you were treated differently than your non-pregnant, similarly-situated coworkers – and that the difference in treatment was based solely on your pregnancy.
TWO MAIN TYPES OF EVIDENCE CAN SUPPORT THIS CLAIM:
Written or recorded statements proving an employer acted with discriminatory intent. Examples include an e-mail an employee was accidentally cc’d on that contained derogatory comments about a pregnant employee or an employer telling an employee, “I’d like to give you the promotion, but I know you won’t want to travel as much once you Direct Evidence have your baby.”
Evidence from which it can be inferred that it is more likely than not that discrimination motivated an employer’s actions. Examples of circumstantial evidence would be evidence that non-pregnant employees are treated differently or evidence that a pregnant employee was passed over for a position in favor of a less-qualified, non-pregnant employee.
Pregnancy discrimination cases can include any of the following:
Pregnancy discrimination comes in different forms.
Examples of pregnancy discrimination in the
workplace include the following:
There are a variety of federal, state, and local laws protecting individuals from discrimination in the workplace due to pregnancy or pregnancy-related disability. If you believe that an employer, potential employer, supervisor, co-worker, business partner, or even client or customer has discriminated against you on the basis of pregnancy, you may have a case to sue. Contacting a lawyer for pregnancy discrimination can help you understand your rights and evaluate the strength of your case.
Important: To preserve your right to sue under Title VII, you must first file a charge of discrimination with the EEOC or a similar state agency.
There are strict deadlines, both for filing a charge and for filing a lawsuit afterward.
