Advice needed please: Is it illegal to withdraw a job offer because you find out someone is going through IVF? This is the scenario: Candidate A is intending going through IVF, they interview for and are offer a job in writing, they tell the employer that they want to accept but need to let them know that they will be going through IVF at sometime in the future, so occasionally will need a day off (booked in advance). Employer then withdraws the offer. Is this legal?

Looks like the company may be exposed to a gender discrimination lawsuit. IVF appears to be protected under Title VII.
