It is illegal under both Federal and State Law to discriminate in the "terms or conditions of employment" on the basis of a person's pregnancy. This includes discrimination based on pregnancy, childbirth, or related medical conditions. Accommodating Pregnancy Employers have a number of responsibilities to employees who become pregnant. For instance, if a woman becomes pregnant, and with the advice of her doctor asks for a position that is less strenuous or hazardous the employer must transfer her to another position if it has one, or can make one without being "unduly burdened." Basically, if its not too much trouble for the employer to accommodate the woman's needs, he has to do it. Pregnancy Family Medical Leave Federal Title VII Law does not explicitly require employers to grant Pregnancy leave, although it does prohibit Pregnancy discrimination. However, the Federal Law does require employers to grant medical leaves, which are applicable to pregnant women (See separate section on family and medial leave).
