Maternity Laeve

Joe DiStasio

We have less than 35 employees.

An employee who began with us in 5/2003, since July she has been in and out due to complication from her pergancy. Her Doctor has put her on disability, with her due date 3/2004. Are we oblidated to hold her job? If yes, Are we obligated to pay her health insurance or other benefits? OR do we terminate with no implications or concerns?

Whatever

She is not entitled to FMLA. The only question is what has been done in the past for people with non-pregnancy conditions.

Also check an see if your state has a Maternity or FMLA like statute that would grant her additional leave.
