If there is a steady history of women facing adverse employment consequences as a result of becoming pregnant, the employer is likely to face litigation. Time off for the birth (or adoption) of a child or for complications from pregnancy is provided by the Family and Medical Leave Act. FMLA coverage is limited to employers with 50 employees, and the leave is limited to 12 weeks. However, if an employer has a practice of providing greater time off for other disabling conditions, the effects of pregnancy are entitled to the same treatment.

Thanks

That is what one would think but you never know.

In this case, nothing is written but they had been open and honest in discussing with her their concern on a pregnancy. Any re course?

Btw, she was hired but she had to promise to not get pregnant again for at least 2 years.
Just curious, is this an allowable"deal" under the law? Again nothing written but everything openly discussed.
