Prosecutor Gina Imperato was able to work remotely during the COVID-19 pandemic but wasn't allowed to do so when her pregnancy made it necessary, her lawsuit says.
A Camden County prosecutor is suing her office for denying remote work during pregnancy complications
Gina Imperato was an assistant prosecutor for the county when she learned she was pregnant with her second child in 2023, with an expected due date in late November. The Pregnant Workers Fairness Act was passed in December 2022 andto find a reasonable accommodation when pregnant workers ask for adjustments to their work environment or schedule because of pregnancy-related needs.
“This was a job she had done remotely for years during the pandemic,” said Imperato’s lawyer, Jacqueline M. Vigilante. “She was forced out of work early … forced to sit home while she was able to work.” A few days after her request, she was told to log her time working remotely as sick leave. A few days after that, she was told to stop working remotely, and her coworkers were allegedly instructed not to discuss any work with her.
