To successfully win a pregnancy discrimination claim, an employee must provide evidence showing that her pregnancy was a substantial motivating reason for an adverse employment (such as a demotion, a write up and, of course, a termination) and that other employees in similar situations were treated differently.

Your chances of winning a discrimination case are much higher if you have the evidence and documentation to support your claim of discrimination. Such evidence could be direct or circumstantial.

Pregnancy has been a protected class for a while in the United States. The PWFA went into effect on June 27, 2023. On April 15, 2024 the EEOC issued its final regulation to carry out the law. So, no. US employers are not allowed to deny employment if you are pregnant IF YOUR EMPLOYER HAS MORE THAN 15 EMPLOYEES.

If your employer treats you unfavourably because of your pregnancy, for example, by ending your contract, extending your probation period, taking account of pregnancy-related sickness or suddenly raising performance issues that had not previously been mentioned, you are protected by pregnancy discrimination law.

Proving pregnancy discrimination requires more than a victim's claim. There must be evidence that the employer acted against the individual exclusively based on their pregnancy. That evidence must be clear, inarguable, and documented.

In general, may take around 1 to 4 years to settle a pregnancy discrimination case. If there are obvious violations of the state and federal laws on pregnancy discrimination, then it may take a shorter amount of time, such as 5 months to 12 months to settle your pregnancy discrimination case.
