Best Employment Lawyers in Stamford, CT Federal law protects workers from pregnancy-based discrimination. For Florida employers, the message is simple: You cannot fire, demote, reassign, discipline or in any way disfavor a worker because they are pregnant. Additionally, if a worker does complain about pregnancy-related discrimination, you cannot engage in any retaliatory act against them. If you do, then your business may find itself the subject of an investigation from the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC). For instance, the EEOC recently filed a lawsuit against a Palm Beach County software company over allegations that it forced a pregnant employee to resign. According to the EEOC’s complaint, filed on June 30 in West Palm Beach federal court, the employee worked in the employer’s sales division for a little under two years. One takeaway from the EEOC’s lawsuit–which, we need to remember is simply a statement of allegations–is that the government identified a number of instances where the employer apparently violated its own policies in order to discriminate against a pregnant employee. This defeats the entire purpose of having such policies. All Florida employers should strive to enforce their rules on an equal and non-discriminatory basis. Not only does this approach show respect for employees–it potentially keeps you out of federal court. Wondering if you have a claim for wrongful termination? Federal and state laws makes it unlawful to terminate employees based on the following: - Discrimination/Harassment – If you believe you were terminated because of a protected characteristic recognized by federal, state or local law, this constitutes wrongful termination. - Retaliation – If your termination happens after you blew the whistle about illegal conduct by your employer or complained about your employer’s unlawful employment practices, such as discrimination, you may have a claim for wrongful termination. - Breach of Contract – If you have an employment contract with your employer and your employer violates or breaches the contract, you may also have a wrongful termination.
