Pregnancy discrimination is not uncommon. It has been a problem for years, and legislatures, recognizing this, have recently passed legislation to protect pregnant women from discrimination. Pregnancy discrimination, like other forms of discrimination, can sometimes be hidden. Employers will rarely inform an employee that she is being terminated because of a pregnancy. In these cases, documentation can be very important. It is important to contact us as soon as you suspect you may be being set up for termination because of your pregnancy. We can help you properly document the discrimination.
