Pregnancy discrimination is one of the most common forms of employment discrimination in New Jersey.

What is Considered Pregnancy Discrimination in NJ?

Some of the actions that are considered pregnancy discrimination include:

  • Firing or failing to hire a pregnant employee
  • Failure to provide reasonable accommodations
  • Forced time off due to pregnancy
  • Changing an employee’s role/responsibilities due to pregnancy
  • Rejecting pregnancy-related Medical Leave
  • Retaliation for blowing the whistle

Pregnancy discrimination occurs in every industry, such as dental offices, restaurants, or housekeeping, whether you work remotely, in-person, full-time, or part-time. It can also overlap with other forms of discrimination, such as:

  • Gender Discrimination
  • Workplace Harassment
  • Sexual Harassment

What are Reasonable Accommodations?

A reasonable accommodation is any adjustment made to a job, hiring process, or work environment that allows a qualified pregnant person (or person with a disability) to fulfill the essential functions of a given position. Additionally, it is illegal for an employer to penalize an employee for requesting (or using) reasonable accommodations.

What Laws Protect Against Pregnancy Discrimination?

Some of the state and federal laws that protect against pregnancy discrimination include:

  • The New Jersey Law Against Discrimination: prohibits discrimination based on pregnancy, childbirth, and related medical conditions and requires employers to provide reasonable accommodations.
  • The Pregnancy Discrimination Act: a federal law that prohibits discrimination based on pregnancy and requires that pregnant employees are treated the same as others.
  • The Pregnant Workers Fairness Act: this act specifically requires reasonable accommodations for pregnant employees.

These laws help ensure that pregnant employees are treated fairly in the workplace; violations by employers can result in legal action. Additionally, the Family and Medical Leave Act and The Fair Labor Standards Act both protect pregnant employees from maternity leave discrimination.

Pumping and Breastfeeding Rights in the Office

Denying your right to pumping and breastfeeding while at work is another form of pregnancy discrimination. The NJFLA and its amendment, the PUMP Act, require employers to provide a private space (not a bathroom) and reasonable break times for women to pump or breastfeed.

Whistleblower Retaliation

If an employer takes action against an employee for reporting pregnancy discrimination (or any other form of discrimination), they are breaking the law. Retaliation can include termination, demotion, unfair disciplinary measures, or any other unfavorable action. If you’ve faced retaliation, call our offices today – our workplace retaliation attorneys are ready to help you.
