Your employer has cut your hours because im pregnant and they dont want to pay maternity leave is this legal?
I found this answer to a similar question earlier today... I will just copy and paste belowCovered employers must grant an eligible employee up to a total of 12 workweeks of unpaid leave during any 12-month period for one or more of the following reasons:for the birth and care of the newborn child of the employee;FMLA 29 CFR 825.104 - Employers with over 50 full time employees are covered by this act.FMLA 29 CFR 825.110 -(a) An ``eligible employee'' is an employee of a covered employerwho:(1) Has been employed by the employer for at least 12 months, and(2) Has been employed for at least 1,250 hours of service during the12-month period immediately preceding the commencement of the leave, and(3) Is employed at a worksite where 50 or more employees areemployed by the employer within 75 miles of that worksite. (SeeSec. 825.105(a) regarding employees who work outside the U.S.)(b) The 12 months an employee must have been employed by theemployer need not be consecutive months.This site will tell you more: http://www.dol.gov/esa/whd/fmla/I encourage you to read through this site to find your own answers.
Can employer take away your health insurance if you are pregnant and a fulltime employee?
The employer cannot take away your health insurance, unless the plan is dropped for all employees. To take away your health insurance would be a clear violation of the federal and state rules about discrimination against pregnant women. You would have a strong case to take to your state human rights commission. The employer could not legally take away your health insurance, but they could do the next best thing: fire you. The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) does not consider pregnancy to be a disability. Therefore employers do not have to make reasonable accomodation for pregnant employees. The result is that a pregnant employee could be legally fired because she needs more bathroom breaks, or cannot do heavy lifting. For many women, being fired from a job means losing their group health insurance. COBRA coverage may be very expensive, especially for someone who is pregnant and probably cannot work full-time for a new employer.
