What covers workplace discrimination against pregnant employees?

Workplace discrimination against pregnant employees is primarily covered by the Pregnancy Discrimination Act (PDA) in the United States, which prohibits discrimination based on pregnancy, childbirth, or related medical conditions. This law requires employers to treat pregnant employees the same as other employees who are similar in their ability or inability to work. Additionally, the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) provides eligible employees with unpaid, job-protected leave for certain family and medical reasons, including pregnancy. Individual state laws may also offer additional protections for pregnant workers.
