With Carlin & Buchsbaum, you can take action against unlawful pregnancy discrimination, for a pregnancy you truly enjoy.
Pregnancy Discrimination
Have you been passed over for a job opportunity because you are pregnant? Were you fired or turned down for a promotion after disclosing your pregnancy? These are examples of pregnancy discrimination that many women face. Fortunately, the law prohibits employers from including pregnancy as a factor in hiring, accrual and crediting of seniority, vacation calculation, pay increases, and temporary disability benefits. If an employee is temporarily unable to perform her job due to her pregnancy, she must be treated just as any other temporarily disabled employee. In addition, it is illegal to limit pregnancy-related benefits to married employees. Pregnancy can be stressful enough without unfair treatment at work.
