Pregnancy Discrimination
Both Michigan and federal laws protect the rights of the pregnant woman in a Michigan workplace. Because pregnancy is a condition unique to women, disparate treatment because of pregnancy denies women’s rights solely because of their sex.
Michigan Law
The Elliott-Larsen Civil Rights Act prohibits discrimination based on sex, including pregnancy, childbirth, or medical conditions related to pregnancy or childbirth. An employer may not terminate a woman’s employment because of her pregnancy.
Federal Law
The Pregnancy Discrimination Act is an amendment to Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. This law requires an employer to treat workers temporarily disabled by pregnancy, childbirth, or related medical conditions, in the same manner as workers temporarily disabled by other non-work-related medical conditions or injuries.
An employer cannot force a worker to begin or end maternity leave at a predetermined time. Instead, the woman may follow the advice of her doctor on these issues.
If you or a loved one has experienced pregnancy discrimination, it is important to talk with a Michigan employment discrimination lawyer with experience in Michigan and federal employment law. Please submit a simple, free and confidential legal consultation form now.
