Victims of pregnancy discrimination have a right to a monetary settlement. The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission is issuing this final rule and interpretive guidance to implement the Pregnant Workers Fairness Act.Pregnancy discrimination is against the law. The EEOC enforces three federal laws that protect job applicants and employees who are pregnant. Title IX protections prohibit discrimination based on pregnancy, childbirth, false pregnancy, termination of pregnancy, or recovery from pregnancy conditions. It is illegal for someone to discriminate against or harass a sub-set of a protected group. Moms are still often laid off while on parental leave, pushed out of workplaces and subjected to stereotypes about their competency.
