FAQ
The PWFA requires a covered entity to provide reasonable accommodations to a qualified employee's or applicant's known limitation related to, affected by, or arising out of pregnancy, childbirth, or related medical conditions, absent undue hardship on the operation of the business of the covered entity.
Proving pregnancy discrimination requires more than a victim's claim. There must be evidence that the employer acted against the individual exclusively based on their pregnancy. That evidence must be clear, inarguable, and documented.
An employer may be excused from providing a reasonable accommodation to an employee for pregnancy, childbirth, breastfeeding, or pregnancy-related conditions if the employer can demonstrate that the accommodation would create an undue hardship on the operations of the employer.
Under the Act, employers: Must allow pregnant employees to work as long as they are able to perform their jobs. Must treat pregnant employees unable to perform their responsibilities in the same way that they treat any other disabled employee.
Additionally, the federal Pregnancy Discrimination Act (PDA) and Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 protect against pregnancy-related discrimination in the workplace. Under these laws, it is illegal for employers to fire, demote, or refuse to hire a woman because she is pregnant.
Under Utah's pregnancy accommodations law, if you need a “reasonable accommodation” because of your pregnancy, childbirth, or pregnancy-related conditions including breastfeeding, your employer has to give it to you unless it would be really difficult or expensive.
File a Complaint / Issue For an unresolved issue: First, contact your local Workforce Services Office and discuss your issue with a service provider and/or supervisor. File a complaint: To file a complaint, fill out the online form. Other state government contacts for unresolved issues: Child Support. Equal Opportunity.
The Utah Antidiscrimination Act requires an employer to make a reasonable accommodation for an employee for pregnancy, child birth, breastfeeding, or a related condition, upon the employee's request.
If a woman is fired or terminated from her job for the sole reason that she was pregnant, she can get anywhere from $200,000 up to around $425,000 or slightly less for that recovery compensation related to the lawsuit. This issue needs to be reviewed specifically by a knowledgeable attorney.
To successfully win a pregnancy discrimination claim, an employee must provide evidence showing that her pregnancy was a substantial motivating reason for an adverse employment (such as a demotion, a write up and, of course, a termination) and that other employees in similar situations were treated differently.
