Pregnancy discrimination occurs when an employee or job applicant is treated unfairly due to pregnancy, childbirth, or a related medical condition. Under both federal law, specifically the Pregnancy Discrimination Act (PDA), and New Jersey’s Law Against Discrimination (NJLAD), employees are protected from discrimination based on their pregnancy status. Unfortunately, many women still face unfair treatment in the workplace because of their pregnancy, whether in the form of job denials, demotions, or harassment.
At NJ Employment Lawyers, we specialize in pregnancy discrimination cases. Our attorneys are committed to fighting for the rights of women who face discrimination in the workplace due to their pregnancy. If you have been subjected to pregnancy discrimination, we are here to help you understand your rights and pursue justice. We will fight to ensure that you are treated fairly and receive the compensation you deserve for the harm you have suffered.
What Is Pregnancy Discrimination?
Pregnancy discrimination occurs when an employee is treated unfairly because of their pregnancy, childbirth, or a related medical condition. This can happen in various ways, including:
Job Denial:Being denied a job or promotion because you are pregnant or plan to become pregnant.
Harassment:Facing derogatory comments, jokes, or other forms of harassment because of your pregnancy.
Unequal Treatment:</strong> Being treated unfairly in terms of job duties, pay, or benefits due to pregnancy.
Forced Leave: Being forced to take leave or leave without pay while pregnant, even though you are capable of performing your job duties.
The Pregnancy Discrimination Act mandates that employers treat pregnant employees the same as any other employee who is temporarily disabled from working. If you believe you have been discriminated against due to your pregnancy, you have the right to file a claim under the PDA and NJLAD to seek justice and compensation for the damages you have suffered.
