In Vitro Fertilization Discrimination
Under federal law, and most state laws, it is illegal for employers to discriminate in hiring, promotion, discipline, and termination based on pregnancy.
If an employee is temporarily unable to do her job because of pregnancy, employers must make the same accommodations they would make for any other temporarily disabled employee, including reasonable time off, or temporary reassignment.
These laws also include accommodations for pregnancy-related medical procedures. Federal courts have recently held that an employer may not act against an employee who has an in vitro fertilization performed. The law also prevents an employer from firing an employee for having an abortion.
Additionally, discrimination based on these factors may also be covered by laws against sex discrimination.
