The Pregnancy Discrimination Act requires that pregnancy be treated no differently than other health disabilities or illnesses if an employer has medical benefits or a disability plan. This means that pregnant employees should receive the same health benefits and accommodations as other employees with disabilities or illnesses. The act does not require employers to provide paid maternity leave, easier job assignments, or grant pregnancy leaves without a physician's statement.
