American employers paid out $10.5 million to settle pregnancy discrimination suits in 2006, and the numbers just keep climbing, according to the EEOC. Many of these costly lawsuits could have been avoided if HR and employers knew the answers to the following questions:

  • What should you say or not say when you learn an employee is pregnant?
  • Can you ask about what kind of leave she intends to take after the birth of her child
  • Should you remove her from responsibilities that may put her unborn child at risk?
  • Do you have to give a pregnant employee “light duty” because she asks for it?

Get the answers to these questions and learn the "red flags" that can lead to discrimination suits by registering for the all-new HR Hero audio conference, Pregnancy in the Workplace: Manage FMLA, ADA, and PDA Issues.

In just 90 minutes an employment law attorney experienced in pregnancy discrimination cases will guide you through the "gray" areas of working with pregnant employees, including:

  • FMLA leave for pregnancy - Is it a given the worker can just stay out for 12 weeks? Can leave for the birth/newborn be used intermittently?
  • FMLA leave care of a child - Should the employer request any other certification for the care of the newborn for time requested beyond the initial 6 weeks? How do you calculate leave for care of the child? What about designating leave?
  • Pregnancy under the ADA - What are the accommodations required for pregnant employees under the ADA? Is infertility considered a disability?
  • Pregnancy Discrimination ACT (PDA) - When can making employment decisions based on pregnancy get you in legal hot water? Can employers restrict duties? Your speaker will cover recent cases to shed some light on how to stay in compliance and avoid costly litigation
  • Plus - Your speaker will offer hands-on, practical advice for the day-to-day management of pregnant employees

Pregnancy in the Workplace: Manage FMLA, ADA, and PDA Issues is just $227.
