Pregnancy or Maternity/Paternity Leave Discrimination

Pregnancy discrimination claims are more common than ever in today’s workplace, as employers often seek to terminate employees prior to or shortly after taking a pregnancy-related leave.

If you have been terminated after informing your employer that you are pregnant or shortly after taking a maternity or paternity leave (this applies to males as well), there is a good chance that you have a legal claim.

In addition, if you have been subject to an adverse action (termination, demotion, PIP, etc.) due to requesting pregnancy related accommodations in the workplace, there is also a chance that you have a legal cause of action.
