Pregnancy Discrimination
Female employees are protected from pregnancy discrimination by state and federal law. At Console Law Offices LLC, we are committed to ensuring justice for women victimized by pregnancy discrimination. It is illegal for employers to take into account an employee’s or job applicant’s sex when making employments decisions – whether it is in decisions to hire, fire, promote, demote or create certain terms and conditions of employment. Likewise, employers can not consider an employee’s pregnancy, childbirth or conditions she may have related to her pregnancy when making employment decisions.
Federal and state laws also prohibit retaliation if a worker complains about pregnancy discrimination; the law also prohibits employers from creating a hostile work environment based on pregnancy.
Discrimination cases are often difficult and complex. Each case requires a careful, focused, and thorough evaluation by a competent attorney who practices employment law. Our firm maintains an excellent reputation in the field of employment law both with employers and the legal community. Depending on the particular facts of your situation and your specific goals, we will work with you to negotiate with your employer, file a Charge of Discrimination with the appropriate federal, state or local agency, and represent you in federal or state court.
Please be aware that there are strict deadlines associated with bringing claims of discrimination. In some cases, you may only have 180 days to file a claim or you forever loose your right to do so. If you believe you have been discriminated against based on your pregnancy do not delay in contacting us for a comprehensive consultation.
