Tennessee Pregnancy Discrimination Laws
Recently I discussed the current laws that can protect a woman’s job both during a pregnancy and after the birth of the child. In general there are three (3) key acts that can protect a pregnant employee’s job. These acts include the Pregnancy Discrimination Act (“PDA”), the Family Medical Leave Act (“FMLA”) and sometimes the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). If you would like to see our discussions on these acts you can watch the interview below:
If you want to know your employee rights you can contact one of our Tennessee Labor Lawyers to discuss your issues. These laws are there to give you the security of keeping your job and being able to financially support your family. We have helped Tennessee Workers across the state enforce their rights and we would be glad to discuss any issues you may have.
