TRENTON – Attorney General Gurbir S. Grewal announced today that a Hudson County company will pay a former employee $25,000 and implement workplace policy reforms under a settlement to resolve the former employee’s complaint of unlawful pregnancy discrimination, after an investigation by the Division on Civil Rights (DCR). The settlement coincides with DCR issuing Findings of Probable Cause in two other pregnancy-related cases, both of which involve women whose requests for pregnancy-related accommodations resulted in losing their jobs.
