Question: I just found out that I am pregnant. Can my employer fire me or reassign me?

Answer: Under the Civil Rights Act of 1964 an employer with 15 or more employees cannot fire you because you are pregnant, and must permit you to continue working as long as you are able. Some states have laws that cover employers with less than 15 employees. If you work for an employer with less than l5 employees, check with your regional Women's Bureau Office or your local Wage and Hour Office to see if your state has an agency that can assist you.
