Just a few weeks after an executive sued SoulCycle for firing her mid-maternity leave, two corporate employees of the home decor business One Kings Lane have filed a lawsuit claiming the private equity firm CSC Generation discriminated against them based on their pregnancies. The suit alleges the employees were indefinitely furloughed just weeks before their scheduled maternity leaves, and that an HR manager was “laughed at” by CSC leadership when she requested the company honor previously negotiated benefits.\n
for firing her mid-maternity leave, two corporate employees of the home decor business One Kings Lane have filed a lawsuit claiming the private equity firm CSC Generation discriminated against them based on their pregnancies. The suit alleges the employees were indefinitely furloughed just weeks before their scheduled maternity leaves, and that an HR manager was “laughed at” by CSC leadership when she requested the company honor previously negotiated benefits.
In the suit, filed Thursday in the Southern District of New York as well as with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, the two employees allege that shortly after their company was acquired by CSC the firm “began making unlawful changes to the company’s policies and practices with respect to employees,” including violating New York’s sick leave rules. Both women were well into their third trimesters at the time of the acquisition.
Oddly, when the women approached CSC with the help of legal counsel, the suit alleges, the company offered to immediately reinstate the employees, expecting them “to return to work within days-notice, only weeks after giving birth,” without mentioning maternity benefits or leave: Belatedly, in a transparent effort to cover its tracks, on Saturday, June 27, 2020, CSC Generation demanded that Ms. van der Does return to work that coming Monday, June 29, and on Wednesday, July 7, 2020, CSC Generation demanded that Ms. Marinaro return to work the very next day – i.e., Thursday, July 8 – even though they each had recently given birth to their children and needed time off for maternity leave.
