Ed Harold’s article “Pregnancy Case Shows Need For Policy Reviews” was featured in New Orleans City Business on April 20, 2015.
The U.S. Supreme Court recently rules in a 6-3 decision that an employee should have her day in court to determine whether United Parcel Services, Inc. violated the Pregnancy Discrimination Act (PDA) when it denied light-duty work to a pregnant employee.
In the article, Ed provides a brief overview of the PDA and discusses what the decision of the UPS court case means for employers.
Ed states that the decision could mean that pregnant employers would enjoy a “most favored nation” status among impaired employees and advises employers to review the reason for any policy that might impose a burden on pregnant employees.
