About Pregnancy Discrimination Claims

Pregnancy discrimination claims address adverse treatment of employees based on pregnancy, childbirth, or related medical conditions. The Pregnancy Discrimination Act and the Pregnant Workers Fairness Act require employers to treat pregnant employees the same as other temporarily disabled employees and to provide reasonable accommodations for pregnancy-related limitations.
