Pregnancy Discrimination Can Occur in Several Ways, Including:

Not being hired because of pregnancy
Failure to provide maternity leave
Inability to restore the employee to the same position after childbirth
Discrimination based on lactation needs
Failure to accommodate any other health complication related to pregnancy
Retaliation against an employee for reporting pregnancy discrimination

Florida Employment Discrimination Laws

The EEOC is responsible for enforcing two federal laws that protect job applicants and pregnant employees. Title VII, amended by the Pregnancy Discrimination Act, is the first law — it makes sex discrimination, including pregnancy discrimination, illegal.

The Americans with Disabilities Act is the second. It prohibits discrimination against an applicant or employee based on disability, and includes pregnancy-related disabilities such as diabetes that develop during pregnancy.
