Force Pregnancy Leave?

Q. If an employee has been absent from work as a result of a pregnancy-related condition and recovers, may her employer require her to remain on leave until after her baby is born?

A. No. An employee must be permitted to work at all times during pregnancy when she is able to perform her job, if she works for an employer covered by Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964.
