¿Qué debería hacer si la discriminan por su embarazo?

Debe guardar cuidadosamente notas y documentación que respalden su afirmación de que está siendo discriminado. Por ejemplo, tome notas detalladas de cada interacción, acontecimiento, llamada telefónica, etc. Anote las fechas, horas y resúmenes detallados lo más cerca posible en el tiempo del suceso. Imprima y conserve copias de los correos electrónicos u otras comunicaciones escritas. Incluya información sobre sus citas médicas relacionadas con el embarazo o la gestión de adaptaciones médicas o por discapacidad para compañeros de trabajo de las que tenga conocimiento. Póngase en contacto con un abogado especializado en discriminación por embarazo para hablar de sus consideraciones legales y vitales y de los mejores pasos a seguir para solucionarlo.

¿Hasta cuánto asciende una indemnización por discriminación por embarazo?

No existe un valor único que puede atribuirse a todos, o incluso a muchos, los casos de discriminación por embarazo. Como ocurre con todas las formas de discriminación que se cometen en el lugar de trabajo, la discriminación por embarazo afectará a las personas de manera diferente. Factores como su puesto de trabajo, su situación económica, su situación médica, los tipos y el momento del compromiso y la comunicación que tuvo con su empleador y sus compañeros, dónde vive, dónde trabaja, las implicaciones generales del acoso, el maltrato o la discriminación a los que se enfrentó, etc., influirán a la hora de determinar la cuantía de la indemnización que reciba a través de un acuerdo o sentencia judicial.

¿Qué pasa si le despiden estando embarazada?

No es necesariamente ilegal despedir a una empleada embarazada. Sin embargo, es ilegal despedir a una empleada embarazada por estar embarazada o por solicitar cualquier adaptación razonable relacionada con el embarazo. Por ejemplo, una empleada embarazada a la que se sorprenda robando a la empresa puede ser despedida, igual que cualquier empleada no embarazada sería despedida por la misma acción. Por lo tanto, habrá que evaluar los hechos de la situación concreta para determinar la causa del despido y si existen pruebas o información suficientes que demuestren que la causa está directamente relacionada con el embarazo de la empleada despedida.

¿Cómo puedo comprobar la discriminación por embarazo?

Puede comprobar la discriminación por embarazo mediante pruebas de la comunicación verbal y escrita y de las acciones emprendidas. Esto puede incluir su declaración sobre los hechos y acciones, declaraciones de testigos de cualquier interacción relevante, documentación de comunicaciones escritas, correos electrónicos, informes, registros u otras fuentes conservadas por usted, su empleador, recursos humanos, etc. Y revisión de historiales médicos y expedientes laborales. A veces, un acontecimiento singular, como el hecho de que su jefe le comunique que no puede volver al trabajo después de tomarse un tiempo libre razonable por necesidades médicas relacionadas con el embarazo, es suficiente para probar el caso. Otras veces, es necesario establecer que existe una determinada forma de comportamiento.

Cómo pueden ayudarle los abogados de discriminación por embarazo

La discriminación por embarazo es un problema común en el lugar de trabajo. El embarazo conlleva una serie de consideraciones para la futura madre, pero la seguridad laboral y salarial, o la posibilidad de acudir a citas, tomarse días libres y cuidar de sí misma y de su bebé (antes y después del parto) no deben ser entre ellas. Numerosas leyes federales y estatales protegen a las mujeres embarazadas y a las recientes madres de la discriminación selectiva.

Sin embargo, muchos empresarios y empleadas desconocen estas protecciones y su impacto práctico. Tanto si le han despedido después del embarazo, como si le han denegado adaptaciones razonables, ha sido objeto de acoso o de cualquier otra situación relacionada con el embarazo, le explicaremos sus derechos como empleada embarazada. Lea nuestro resumen legal y comuníquese con nosotros para una consulta con un abogado de discriminación por embarazo sobre su situación específica.

¿Qué leyes federales y estatales protegen a las mujeres de la discriminación por embarazo?

Determinar con precisión cuáles son sus derechos depende de varios factores, entre ellos su ubicación (estado, condado, ciudad, etc.), su empleo y su empleador, si su embarazo o parto le causan alguna discapacidad médica y los hechos concretos de su situación. Sin embargo, hay algunas leyes federales básicas que conviene conocer. Su abogado de discriminación por embarazo determinará si estas protecciones afectan a su caso y de qué manera. Las leyes federales más importantes son:

Título VII de la Ley de Derechos Civiles (Title VII).
Ley de Equidad para las Trabajadoras Embarazadas (PWFA).
Ley de Estadounidenses con Discapacidades (ADA).
Ley de Licencias Médicas y Familiares (FMLA).
Ley de Protección Maternal Urgente para Madres Lactantes (Ley PUMP).

¿Qué significa? Discriminación por embarazo en el lugar de trabajo

La discriminación por embarazo en el lugar de trabajo implica cualquier tipo de trato injusto basado únicamente en el hecho de estar embarazada, poder estarlo o haber dado a luz recientemente.

Señales y ejemplos de discriminación por embarazo

Según la EEOC y otras fuentes, algunos de los hechos más comunes de discriminación por embarazo son:

Rechazo de empleo, despido o denegación de ascensos a mujeres embarazadas (o a mujeres que temen que puedan quedarse embarazadas).
Despido o denegación de la reincorporación de trabajadoras embarazadas que hayan disfrutado de una baja médica.
Control de las oportunidades disponibles para las trabajadoras embarazadas (por ejemplo, obligándolas a trabajar menos horas, a aceptar determinadas tareas o reducciones salariales, o a tomarse días libres).
Tratamiento diferente de las trabajadoras embarazadas que de las no embarazadas en lo que respecta a las adaptaciones médicas.
Acoso a las trabajadoras embarazadas o que hayan dado a luz recientemente, basado en su embarazo o en cualquier factor relacionado (como el tiempo libre, las adaptaciones, los cambios corporales, etc.).
Dificultar a las madres lactantes la extracción o almacenamiento de leche materna o negar a las madres lactantes el derecho a reincorporarse al trabajo.
Dificultar o negarse a permitir que las trabajadoras embarazadas o después del parto acudan a las citas médicas necesarias.
Cualquier tipo de acción de represalia contra una empleada embarazada que busca alojamiento.

INVESTIGATIVE ENGAGEMENT AGREEMENT

You, (“Client,” “you”), and Consumer Attorneys PLC (“CA” or “we”), located at 8095 N. 85th Way, Scottsdale, AZ 85258 (“CA”) , hereby enter into this limited scope retainer agreement whereby you agree to grant CA the exclusive authority to investigate your potential consumer law claim(s), including but not limited to potential violations of the Fair Credit Reporting Act (“FCRA”), Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (“FDCPA”), Equal Credit Opportunity Act (“ECOA”), Electronic Funds Transfer Act “EFTA”), Fair Credit Billing Act (“FCPA”), and/or the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA”) (collectively referenced as “consumer protection statutes”). ¹Please read carefully before signing:

Authorization

You authorize CA to investigate your potential consumer law claim(s) under state and federal consumer protection statutes. You authorize CA to contact third parties on your behalf for the limited purpose of investigating your potential consumer law claims. “Third parties” include but are not limited to consumer reporting agencies, creditors, lenders, debt collectors, rental agencies, employers, courts, and law enforcement agencies.

CA’s Exclusive Investigative Period

CA agrees to investigate your potential consumer law claims in good faith. By signing this agreement, you agree to give CA the exclusive right to investigate your potential consumer law claim(s) for the next 180 days (“Exclusive Investigative Period”). For the duration of the Exclusive Investigative Period, you agree that you will not communicate with any other law firm or legal representative about your potential consumer law claim(s). You agree to forgo any previously scheduled consultation or case review until CA’s Exclusive Investigative Period concludes.

Termination of Exclusive Investigation Period

CA agrees that the Exclusive Investigative Period may not extend beyond 180 days without your prior written consent.

At any time between the date of this agreement and the expiration of CA’s Exclusive Investigative Period, CA may inform you of the outcome of its investigation. If CA’s investigation reveals that you have an actional consumer law claim, CA may ask you to sign a formal retainer agreement. If CA’s investigation does not reveal an actionable consumer law claim, you will receive an e-mail that states CA will not represent you in any further pursuit of your potential claim(s).

The relationship between you and CA automatically terminates at 5pm on the 180th day of the Exclusive Investigative Period or your receipt of CA’s written notice to decline representation, whichever comes sooner. At the conclusion of the Exclusive Investigative Period or upon receipt of CA’s written declination of representation, you are permitted to seek alternative legal counsel without penalty.

Nothing in this agreement should be construed as a promise or guarantee that CA will represent you in a consumer lawsuit at any point in time. CA reserves the right to decline to represent you for any reason permitted by relevant laws and ethical rules.

Your Involvement and Promises to us

You agree to meaningfully participate and cooperate in CA’s investigation of your potential consumer law claim(s). You agree to immediately inform CA if your mailing address, e-mail address, or phone number changes at any point during the Exclusive Investigative Period.
You agree to provide all relevant information, communications, documents, materials, and all other similar instruments to CA and its representatives during the Exclusive Investigative Period. You understand that your failure to provide all relevant information, communications, documents, and materials to CA during the Exclusive Investigative Period may hinder, delay or otherwise frustrate CA’s investigation of your potential consumer law claim(s).

You agree, under penalty of perjury, to provide complete, accurate, and truthful information to CA. All documents and communications, oral or written, past or future, provided to CA during the Exclusive Investigative Period and anytime thereafter are presumed by CA to be true, complete, and accurate.

Fees and Costs Incurred During Exclusive Investigative Period

CA agrees that you will not incur any out-of-pocket fees or costs during CA’s Exclusive Investigative Period. However, if CA agrees to represent you in a consumer lawsuit, CA may recover the fees and costs incurred during the Exclusive Investigative Period from the Defendant pursuant to a future settlement or judgment.

You agree that CA has a right to place a lien on any future monetary recovery obtained by client related to the claims identified during CA’s Exclusive Investigative Period or as a result of CA’s investigative efforts. If you refuse to cooperate with CA in the formal pursuit of the consumer law claim(s) it identifies during or after the Exclusive Investigative Period, you agree that CA has the right to recover the fees and costs it incurred while investigating your potential consumer law claim(s).

Authorization to Use Your Electronic Signature

CA will send you any and all documents that require your signature. You authorize CA to affix your electronic signature to requests, disclosures, or other forms that CA deems reasonably necessary to the investigation of your potential consumer law claim(s) upon receipt of your approval or after the 7th day after the document was sent to you, whichever comes first. Your electronic signature will be used on any and all other subsequent documents that will need signature, affirmation, acknowledgment, or any other forms of authentication in reference to this matter under the above referenced procedure.

¹You also agree to give CA the exclusive authority to investigate potential violations of state-specific consumer protection statutes.
