Pregnancy / Maternity Discrimination
Under Title VII, pregnancy, childbirth, and related
medical conditions must be treated in the same way as other temporary illnesses
or conditions. Under the Fair Employment and Housing Act, an employer must
generally provide up to four months disability leave for a woman who is
disabled due to pregnancy, childbirth, or a related medical condition. However,
if an employer provides more than four months of leave for other types of
temporary disabilities, the same leave must be made available to women who are
disabled due to pregnancy, childbirth, or a related medical condition.
Additionally, employers are generally required to provide reasonable
accommodation to a pregnant employee when requested, with the advice of her
health care provider, related to her pregnancy, childbirth, or related medical
condition. It is illegal for an employer to discriminate against or harass an
employee because of her pregnancy.
