In general, individuals should report pregnancy-related sickness absences like any regular sickness absences. Members of senior leadership can ask individuals to provide a doctor's note confirming that the absence is pregnancy related.
If you've decided to work until you go into labor, your signs to stop working during pregnancy will be aligned with signs of labor, like your water breaking or contractions that are coming consistently (between two and five minutes apart), last between 60 to 90 seconds and become more intense as time progresses.
There is no one-size-fits-all answer to how much you can sue for pregnancy discrimination, as each case depends on its unique circumstances. Damages can range from thousands to millions of dollars, depending on factors like financial losses, emotional impact, and the severity of the employer's conduct.
Pregnancy is not an illness or injury. If a pregnant employee experiences a pregnancy-related illness or injury, they can take sick leave or unpaid special parental leave.
The number of hours and even time of day when you work may also be a factor. A 2014 study of Japanese women uncovered that those who worked more than 40 hours each week were at higher risk of miscarriage and preterm labor. And the more hours worked (51–70 hours and 71+ hours), the higher the risk.
The amount of damages that can be awarded depends on the size of the employer; these limits are for the combined total of pain and suffering and punitive damages: The court can award up to $50,000 if the employer has 15 to 100 employees. The court can award up to $100,000 if the employer has 101 to 200 employees.
Signs You Should Stop Working When Pregnant You have high blood pressure, a cervical insufficiency or intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) Your baby isn't growing properly. You're at risk for preeclampsia. You have a history of stillbirth, preterm birth or late miscarriage.
