Expecting a child can be both exciting and challenging, particularly in the workplace where pregnancy discrimination remains a concern despite legal protections. Discrimination can include biased hiring practices, denial of reasonable accommodations, and unfair treatment. Key laws like the Pregnancy Discrimination Act, ADA, FMLA, and state-specific regulations safeguard employees’ rights, ensuring accommodations and leave are provided. Understanding these laws, documenting incidents, and seeking legal advice can help address unfair treatment. Employers are encouraged to create supportive environments, promoting equity and respect for expecting employees.
Coded language, like “not a good fit” or “too aggressive,” subtly reflects workplace bias, often based on race, gender, or age. Recognizing and documenting these phrases can help employees build a strong case against discrimination.
