The woman was allegedly denied as-needed bathroom breaks and denied a 20-pound limit on items she would be assigned to lift.
A Hudson County company will pay a former employee $25,000 and implement workplace policy reforms under a settlement to resolve the former employee’s complaint of unlawful pregnancy discrimination, after an investigation by the Division on Civil Rights (DCR), according to New Jersey Attorney General Gurbir Grewal.
The settlement coincides with DCR issuing Findings of Probable Cause in two other pregnancy-related cases, involving women whose requests for pregnancy-related accommodations resulted in losing their jobs.
