Legal Question in Employment Law in South Dakota
Harrassment during pregnancy
Is it legal for an employer/boss to make degrading comments about an employee's weight in front of other employees during her pregnancy and then when confronted with the problem, make it difficult for her to remain employed there? Are there laws that protect against this?
