Key Biscayne Pregnancy Discrimination Lawyer

Everyone deserves to work in an environment where they are evaluated on their merits and achievements, not their gender or health conditions. In the U.S., pregnancy is considered a protected class, per federal law, under the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC). Being pregnant should not disqualify you from a promotion in the workplace, consideration for valuable skills training, or a raise. If you have faced workplace discrimination because you are pregnant, or undergoing treatments to become pregnant, you have more legal rights than you know, and our Key Biscayne, FL pregnancy discrimination lawyer is here to protect them.

Pregnancy Discrimination Lawyer Key Biscayne, FL

Working while you’re pregnant is stressful enough, without the fear that you’ll be passed over for promotion or lose your job because you chose to grow your family. Worry that you’ll be discriminated against is very real for many pregnant women. Your boss may not believe that you plan to come back after your maternity leave, and so may delay your well-earned promotion or lateral move for a year or more “just to be sure.” Or, your work performance may be evaluated through a different lens; any mistakes you make may be overly scrutinized, or your valid complaints may be dismissed as “pregnancy moodiness.” These forms of discrimination are illegal; pregnant women are in a protected class, established by federal laws.

Per the EEOC, your pregnancy cannot be a factor in hiring, discipline, promotion, or termination. In practice, though, we’ve found that many employers are smart enough to work around federal laws and engage in discrimination against pregnant women.

Our Key Biscayne pregnancy discrimination lawyer protects your right to work and takes action if you have been discriminated against. We’re experienced attorneys who can easily see through common excuses employers make to avoid outright discrimination against pregnant women. If your FMLA requests are denied, if you’ve been passed over for promotion, or if you’re denied valuable workplace training because an employer feels it’s a waste because you may not return to work, you would be entitled to a considerable settlement. Let our legal team work for you, investigating the discriminatory incidents and practices. We develop the right approach, whether it’s meditation to resolve the matter or taking it to court to secure the damages you’re entitled to.
