New York City Employment Lawyer

The United States Supreme Court recently agreed to review a case that centers on whether women who took pregnancy leave before 1979, when the Pregnancy Discrimination Act went into effect, should be entitled to all the protection and benefits the law provides.  Noreen Hulteen, now age 74, missed 240 days of work after her daughter was born due to a required surgery.  She argues her employer, Pacific Bell, now AT&T, did not properly calculate her pregnancy leave into her retirement.  AT&T is arguing that it should not have to retroactively credit the benefits women should have received before the Act was passed.
