Pregnancy Discrimination - Know Your Rights!

As a start line one thing should be made terribly clear : you can't be discriminated against for being pregnant.

Sadly , it looks to be a reasonably frequent event that once a girl falls pregnant her previously nice and reasonable employer treats her differently.

Medical insurance : Employer provided health care insurance must cover pregnancy and pregnancy-related conditions on the same basis as other medical problems. Fringe Benefits : Benefits can't be given only to married men and women. Benefits can't be provided differently to pregnant and non-pregnant workers. Each member of the family starts taking additional care of the diet of pregnant mum. It's important that they look after her nourishment, for the fitness of the kid is pretty much dependent upon the mums diet. Nutritive needs change from individual to individual and each stage of pregnancy has special needs. For patients who cant endure milk, high calcium foods like yoghurt and cheese are substituted. It's a common practice to prescribe calcium, iron, folic acid, vitamin D and other trace elements like zinc. Early morning nausea isn't unvaryingly experienced in the morning. Ordinarily ladies develop a dislike for fried food, coffee and some even experience a longing for sweet food and infrequently itching for non-food items like soap, coal, and so on.

In addition, the law deters retaliation for griping about discrimination either to your employer or to the EEOC.
