We get a TON of questions from workers about being pregnant and work.

Concerned women want to know what benefits they are entitled, what protections the law provides and generally what their boss can and cannot do if they are or intend to become pregnant.

We went ahead and gathered together some of the questions about maternity leave and related issues here, and went ahead and answered them for you.

The unfortunate truth is, all too many employers either through ignorance of their obligations or not, violate the rights of the employees.

Pregnancy is a protected class under federal laws such as the American Disabilities Act, Pregnancy Disability Act and the Family Medical Leave Act - which set the rules on what obligations employers have to their pregnant staff.

Still, each situation is unique, and you may have further questions as to whether you are covered.

Additionally, if you were mistreated at your job or were discriminated against because of pregnancy and have questions about about your legal options, visit our website to connect and I'll answer them for you - http://www.floridaovertimelawyer.com
