Summary of differences between federal and state regulations
Effective July 1, 2015, the Florida Civil Rights Act expressly includes pregnancy as a protected class from discrimination in employment.
The provision applies to employers with 15 or more employees for each working day in each of 20 or more calendar weeks in the current or preceding calendar year, and any agent of such an employer.
It is an unlawful employment practice to discharge or fail or refuse to hire any individual, or otherwise to discriminate against any individual with respect to compensation, terms, conditions, or privileges of employment, because of such individual's pregnancy.
Other unlawful practices include segregating or classifying employees or applicants in any way that would deprive or tend to deprive any individual of employment opportunities, or adversely affect any individual's status as an employee, because of such individual's pregnancy.
Employers are prohibited from discriminating against any individual because of pregnancy in admission to or employment in, any program established to provide apprenticeship or other training.
Employers may take or fail to take any action on the basis of pregnancy, where the absence of pregnancy is a bona fide occupational qualification reasonably necessary for the performance of the related particular employment.
