Can an employer fire an employee whose pregnancy is causing medical complications that affect her ability to perform her usual workplace duties?
Employers have a duty to accommodate in those circumstances unless it would cause undue hardship.
This accommodation may include changing job duties temporarily or providing time off work.
It is unlawful and discriminatory if an employer improperly fires, demotes, or lays off an employee due to a pregnancy.
