I can't tell you what an "unapproved" employee means to your former employer. Additionally, you raise an inference that there could be a component of pregnancy discrimination BUT you stated thta your boss fired you "for" having an unapproved employee. In order to make a minimal showing of pregnancy discrimination, you have to show adverse job action because of the pregnancy. We would be happy to chat with you on your specific situation.
