Summary of differences between federal and state regulations
Employer defined
“Employer” includes the state, any political subdivision of the state, any person employing four or more persons within the state, and any person acting directly or indirectly in the interest of an employer.
Unlawful employment practices
The state law does not include provisions regarding pregnancy discrimination as extensive as those in the federal law. However, the state does define the terms “because of sex” and “on the basis of sex” include pregnancy, any illness arising out of and occurring during the course of a pregnancy, childbirth, or related medical conditions.
Women affected by pregnancy, childbirth, or related medical conditions must be treated the same for all employment-related purposes, including receipt of benefits under fringe benefit programs, as other persons not so affected but similar in their ability or inability to work. This does not require an employer to pay for health insurance benefits for abortion, except where the life of the mother would be endangered if the fetus were carried to term or except where medical complications have arisen from the abortion. In addition, nothing precludes an employer from providing abortion benefits or otherwise affects bargaining agreements in regard to abortion.
Posting
Every covered person must post in a conspicuous place or places on his premises a notice prepared or approved by the Civil Rights Commission that sets forth excerpts of the law and other relevant information that the Commission deems necessary.
