WPI 330.44 Employment Discrimination—Pregnancy Discrimination—Definition
It is an unfair practice for any employer to:
(1) Fail or refuse to make reasonable accommodation for an employee for pregnancy, unless the employer can demonstrate that doing so would impose an undue hardship on the employer's program, enterprise, or business;
(2) Take adverse action that affects the terms, conditions, or privileges of employment against an employee who requests, declines, or uses an accommodation;
(3) Deny employment opportunities to an otherwise qualified employee if such denial is based on the employer's need to make reasonable accommodation; or
(4) Require an employee to take leave if another reasonable accommodation can be provided for the employee's pregnancy.
“Pregnancy” includes the employee's pregnancy and pregnancy-related health conditions, including the need to express breast milk.
