This appears to be a violation of the The Pregnancy Act and the NJ Laws Against Discrimination. The first thing you should do is send your employer a written protest letter. If they do not respond or you do not like their response, file a formal written complaint/letter with the person designated by your employer to handle workplace discrimination issues. If all fails then see an attorney before you file a complaint with the EEOC.
An employer cannot discriminate against an employee because of a pregnancy. When you have recovered from your pregnancy you should permitted to return to work to the same extent as persons with other disabilities or illnesses. Accordingly, you may be a victim of unlawful discrimination in violation of the New Jersey Law Against Discrimination and other laws. You should consult with an experienced employment attorney as soon as possible to determine all of your rights. We offer a free telephone review:
