When Pregnancy Leads to a Change in Employment
Pregnancy discrimination cases often arise when an employee’s pregnancy or related needs changes how the employer responds to them.
An employee may request leave, modified duties, or accommodation. In some cases, that is followed by increased scrutiny, changing expectations, or termination.
The issue is not pregnancy alone, but whether the employer’s actions can be tied to it.
Common Situations
termination during or after pregnancy
reduced responsibilities or exclusion
