The Fair Work Act prohibits employers from taking adverse action against an employee because of their pregnancy, parental status, or family responsibilities, including demotion, discrimination, or providing less favorable working conditions.
This is called pregnancy discrimination. Under federal, state, and local anti-discrimination laws, employers cannot treat you unfavorably because you are pregnant, recovering from childbirth, or have a medical condition related to your pregnancy or childbirth.
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.
To prove this kind of discrimination, you need to demonstrate that your employer treated you differently because you are or were recently pregnant. If your pregnancy prompted a harmful employment decision, such as termination or failure to promote, compensation may be available.
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.
You absolutely can sue for being terminated for the sole purpose of being pregnant. There is a process to bring in the lawsuit against your employer, and I would strongly obtain an attorney right away.
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.
