New York City Employment Lawyer

NutriSystem recently agreed to pay $82,500 to a woman allegedly fired in a pregnancy discrimination case.  In November 2006, Robyn Linenberg was terminated three weeks after she told the company she was pregnant.  Linenberg had also recently been placed in a leadership training program.

Because of the outcome of the lawsuit, NutriSystem, a weight loss company, has made several changes in its organizational structure.  The business has drafted a decree prohibiting pregnancy discrimination, created a grievance system for employees to complain about violations, chosen to provide anti-discrimination training to managers, and required any problems be submitted to the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC).
