BE SAFE, HEALTHY AND HAPPY IN THE WORKPLACE WHILE PREGNANT

The first thing pregnant working women should know is that they have the right to work while pregnant.IntheUnitedStates,ithas been illegal to discriminate against pregnant women in the workplace since 1978, when the Pregnancy Discrimination Act was passed. But in spite of those laws, some employers may be less receptive to their female employees’ pregnancies, with some insisting they harbor good intentions, such as the woman’s safety. Businesses cannot fire employees for being pregnant, and many courts have ruled that decisions about the safety of the woman and fetus are up to the employee and her doctor, not her boss. On the same token, a company cannot refuse to hire a person simply because she’s pregnant.
