Q. I was bypassed for a major promotion because I am pregnant. Can my boss do this?
A. No. The law is very specific when it comes to pregnancy discrimination. Your employer cannot take away credit for previous work years or seniority because you go on maternity leave, according to the US Department of Labor. These cases can be difficult to prove, as your boss may try to give different reasons for the adverse employment action, so you may need legal counsel. Colorado employment lawyer Kim Ryan handles federal and state pregnancy discrimination claims in Colorado and can be reached at kim@ryanfirm.com.
