Missouri & Kansas Pregnancy Discrimination Act Attorney
If you have been discriminated against based on your pregnancy, you need a lawyer who is willing to stand up for your rights as a pregnant woman and as an employee. At Reavey Law LLC, we have an experienced employment law litigator and an experienced staff who believe in the individual rights of all employees.
The Pregnancy Discrimination Act (PDA) protects women from discrimination based on their pregnancy. Under the PDA, pregnancy is considered a medical condition that entitles a woman to take leave for child birth and child rearing. If you have any questions regarding the provisions of the PDA, contact our law firm for a free initial consultation. We can answer any questions regarding the PDA's provisions on:
- Maternity leave
- Child birth
- Employer retaliation
- Pregnancy based discrimination
- Maternity leave for adoption
Pregnant women are often unaware that they have rights under the PDA. At Reavey Law LLC, we are familiar with those rights and protections. We are willing to fight to ensure that employers respect those rights. It is important that you are aware of the rights you have. If you have been fired after telling an employer you were pregnant, demoted, passed over for a promotion, or denied a position after an interview, we can help you understand how your rights may have been violated. Additional information on unlawful pregnancy discrimination can be found on the EEOC website.
Family and Medical Leave Act
The Pregnancy Discrimination Act does not protect men from adverse action if they take paternity leave. However, the FMLA does provide a measure of protection to fathers who are taking leave to help care for their children.
