What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Mississippi
I found out that I was pregnant a month (unplanned) after I accepted a job in corporate america. To receive FMLA which is the only thing the company gives for maternity leave you must be there for a year. I will be shy of this by 3 months. I have spoken to my HR department and they have informed me in a 5 min meeting that I will be terminated due to the lack of leave (2 wks), unless I come back at the end of 2 weeks after giving birth. In the handbook they offer leave without of pay and short term disability (they only make certain exceptions for certain individuals). Do I have a case in this matter???
Thanks.
