This article will address the legal obligations of employers in non-union settings toward employees who request pregnancy leave, parental or medical leave, workers' compensation leave, and other forms of disability leave. Specifically, this article will address the legal standards set forth under the Pregnancy Discrimination Act, various state pregnancy and family leave acts, workers' compensation retaliatory discharge authority, and the Americans With Disabilities Act of 1990. In addition, this article will provide practical guidance for employers in formulating effective leave policies that provide the maximum amount of operational flexibility while at the same time minimizing the risk of costly and excessive litigation.
本文将探讨在非工会环境下雇主对请求产假、陪产假或病假、工伤赔偿假以及其他形式残疾假的员工所负有的法律义务。具体而言，本文将阐述《怀孕歧视法》、各州的怀孕和家庭休假法、工伤赔偿报复性解雇规定以及1990年《美国残疾人法》所规定的法律标准。此外，本文还将为雇主制定有效的休假政策提供实用指导，这些政策既要提供最大程度的运营灵活性，又要尽量降低代价高昂且过多诉讼的风险。
