Pregnancy Discrimination
If you feel that you have been discriminated against because you are pregnant, you should contact the Law Offices of Lauren Goldberg, PLLC. We are here to ensure that your rights are not violated. Federal, State and City laws prohibit employers from discriminating against employees on the basis of their being pregnant, or having some medical condition related to their pregnancy or childbirth. For example, an employer cannot refuse to hire an individual because she is pregnant so long as she is able to perform the required functions of the job. Additionally, she cannot be demoted or fired because she is or becomes pregnant.
Retaliation
If you complain to your employer about the discrimination you are experiencing and your employer takes adverse actions against you, you may have a claim for retaliation. It is unlawful for your employer to treat you unfairly because you complained of discrimination. To review all your options, call the Law Offices of Lauren Goldberg, PLLC.
