Understanding Your Rights Under West Virginia Pregnancy Discrimination Laws

The state of West Virginia protects pregnant women in the workplace under the West Virginia Human Rights Act, Pregnant Workers Fairness Act, and West Virginia Common Law. These laws make discrimination and harassment against women affected by pregnancy, childbirth, and related medical conditions unlawful by employers. The law applies to both job applicants as well as employees.

Under the Pregnant Workers Fairness Act, employers are subject to the following:

  • They must provide reasonable accommodations for the limitations that pregnancy and childbirth may bring unless such accommodations would cause undue hardship on the company
  • They cannot deny employment opportunities due to refusing to make such accommodations
  • They cannot make the employee take a leave of absence if another accommodation can be provided
  • They cannot force to accept an unreasonable accommodation
  • They cannot retaliate against an employee who makes a complaint or takes legal action regarding their pregnancy discrimination
