A Pending Birth Should Not Result in the Loss of Your Job
An upcoming birth of a child is cause for celebration. While a career may be put on hold, personal lives are enriched. Yet, many times, an announced pregnancy and leave request can result in discrimination and eventually wrongful termination.
At the Kansas City-based Employee Rights Law Firm—Law Offices of Mark A. Jess, L.L.C., we protect the rights of those victimized by pregnancy discrimination and seek justice on their behalf.
If your pregnancy has resulted in a denied promotion or illegal termination, contact us at 816-399-5609 or toll free at 877-287-2162.
Overcoming the Challenges on Your Behalf
Being treated differently or fired because of a pregnancy is a sometimes-complicated form of gender discrimination. The federal and state laws, specifically in Missouri and Kansas, vary and present challenges. However, our aggressive approach and knowledge of the law helps us overcome the most difficult obstacles and strive for justice to be served.
Protecting Your Rights in a Pregnancy Discrimination Claim
We build your pregnancy discrimination claim based on the facts at the Employee Rights Law Firm—Law Offices of Mark A. Jess, L.L.C.. Clients come to us after taking 12 weeks of unpaid maternity leave protected under the Family Medical Leave Act. They returned to their jobs to discover that their position was filled.
While employers have the right to staff their company based on certain needs, they do not have the right to discriminate. Your attorney's job is to hold them accountable.
