Pregnancy discrimination occurs when a woman is treated less favourably than another person simply because she is pregnant or because she may become pregnant. Indirect pregnancy discrimination occurs when there is a requirement or practice that disadvantages pregnant women.
Pregnancy discrimination can occur if you are treated in any of the following ways because you are pregnant or might become pregnant:
refusing to employ you or promote you
dismissing or retrenching you
excluding you from a training course
reducing your hours of work
transferring you to another position when there are no valid safety or medical reasons for this
demoting you or reducing your seniority
refusing you accommodation or goods or services
excluding you from an educational institution
