Know your employees’ rights and defend against rising pregnancy discrimination claims.

It’s not enough to simply have a maternity leave policy in place if you aren’t intimately familiar with the laws that regulate it … laws that can dramatically affect you and your employees.

With pregnancy discrimination complaints quickly becoming one of the fastest-growing types of employment discrimination charges filed with the EEOC, it’s more important than ever to know the ins and outs of your policy. So if you’re not sure of the differences between the Pregnancy Discrimination Act (PDA) and the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) … of what benefits apply to an adopting employee … or the difference in coverage between disability leave and maternity leave — this training is for you. 

Do what’s right for your employees and help yourself in the process.

Getting up to speed with the laws that pertain to you and your employees will help you stay afloat in the legal hot water of pregnancy discrimination. But just as important, it will show you how to level the playing field for all your employees, make them feel appreciated, and give them incentive to return to work more productive than ever.

Join us for one eye-opening, informative hour, and you’ll learn:

1. Specific rights of pregnant employees and common employment
   practices that could be considered discriminatory
   
2. Differences between the PDA and the FMLA
   
3. Appropriate health insurance coverage under the PDA
   
4. The legalities of bringing back an employee who has been out on pregnancy leave
