Legal Question in Employment Law in Connecticut

Disregarding doctor's orders regarding work limitations on a third trimester pre

Is there recourse of a woman whose hours of work have been limited by her doctor because of her pregnancy, but the order has been ignored by the partners of the firm? The doctor ordered 40 hours per week, and she has been made to work between 50 and 65 for the past two weeks. Other comments have been made about the need to ''re-establish herself'' upon return from leave in terms of ''making up'' billable hours missed due to her upcoming maternity leave. Is any of this illegal, and is there any recourse for her?

It sounds like you may have a case of pregnancy discrimination. The recourse would be to file with the Connecticut Commission on Human Rights and Opportunities.
