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 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.

If at any time you think that you have been subjected to pregnancy (or related) discrimination, contact the Civil Rights Center at 202-693-6500 within 45 days of the alleged discriminatory event in order to preserve your right to file an EEO complaint.

The Utah Antidiscrimination Act requires an employer to make a reasonable accommodation for an employee for pregnancy, child birth, breastfeeding, or a related condition, upon the employee's request.

The Pregnancy Discrimination Act (PDA) prohibits employers with a minimum of 15 employees from: Refusing to hire a woman because of pregnancy. Firing or forcing a woman to leave her position because of pregnancy.

Refusing to hire, failing to promote, demoting, or firing pregnant workers after learning they are pregnant; discharging workers who take medical leave for pregnancy-related conditions (such as a miscarriage);

While some pregnancy discrimination lawsuits can reach and sometimes even surpass the $1 million mark, the typical range tends to be anywhere from $250,000 to $750,000 depending on the specifics of the case.

Violations have involved a variety of fact patterns, including: refusing to hire, failing to promote, demoting, or firing pregnant workers after learning they are pregnant; discharging workers who take medical leave for pregnancy-related conditions (such as a miscarriage);
