Pregnancy can bring new challenges at work, from denied accommodations and leave requests to demotions, harassment, or wrongful termination. Federal and Florida laws provide important protections for many workers, but determining which laws apply depends on your employer, your job, and the circumstances of your case. If you were passed over for a promotion, forced onto unpaid leave, or fired after announcing your pregnancy, you may have legal options.
At BT Law Group, PLLC, Miami workplace discrimination attorneys Jason D. Berkowitz and Anisley Tarragona represent employees throughout Miami-Dade County and South Florida in pregnancy discrimination, retaliation, and leave-related employment claims. Our team helps workers evaluate their rights, gather the evidence needed to support a claim, and pursue the legal remedies available under federal and Florida law.
This page explains how the Pregnant Workers Fairness Act, the Family and Medical Leave Act, and Florida law protect you at every stage of pregnancy, childbirth, and the return to work. Call BT Law Group, PLLC at (305) 507-8506 to schedule a consultation.
