HI,
I am woking for an employer in CA from the last 6 months.
I am 5 months pregnant right now and my doctor suggested me to be on bed rest through out my pregnancy as my cervix is short and she put me on disability.
I have taken unpaid leaves from 23th March (my doctor provided a note to my employer stating that i need to be on besd rest, until they do further examination.).
They terminated my emplyment.
My question
1. Do they have rights to teminate my offer just because I am pregnant and on Disability
leaves.
Note : I am anot eligibile for FMLA or CFRA as i have not completed 12 months of employement with them.Also i have taken a leave for only 5 weeks till date.
So can a employment be terminated while on Pregnancy disability leaves.
Thanks
Shalini
