Companies Cannot Refuse to Hire Because of Pregnancy

5/2/2022

 
The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission recently settled a lawsuit against DLS Engineering Associates in which the EEOC had alleged that DLS discriminated against one of its prospective employees due to her pregnancy.  The EEOC's lawsuit claimed that DLS had offered a pregnant prospective employee a position without knowledge that she was pregnant.  Once the prospective employee informed the company that she was five months pregnant, however, the company rescinded the offer.  In addition, the company explained to her that it could not hire somebody who was pregnant.  This alleged conduct is a violation of the Pregnancy Discrimination Act, which is an amendment to Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964.  See EEOC v. DLS Engineering Associates, LLC, No. 3:21-cv-1214 (M.D. Fla.).
