Re: Help me Please

A company only has to provide the legal amount of pregnancy and possibly FMLA leave; after that you can be fired. If that is what happened, sorry. If you are still owed leave, and will return to work within the legal limits, they have to keep you - if they don't, then an attorney could help convince them otherwise, or file suit if they violated the law. Contact if you think they did.
