PREGNANCY
DISCRIMINATION
It is illegal for an employer to discriminate against you
because you are pregnant. Discrimination can take several
forms including refusing to hire, termination, denying promotion
and job benefits.
Discrimination
on the basis of pregnancy, childbirth, or related medical
conditions is treated as sex discrimination under both Title
VII and the FEHA. Pregnancy is treated in effect as a temporary,
non-occupational injury or disability.
To establish
a prima facie case of pregnancy discrimination, plaintiff
must show that her employer knew she was pregnant and evidence
of pregnancy-discriminatory motive on defendant's part.
