Legal Question in Business Law in Massachusetts
termination when pregnant
If your boss knows you are pregnant
and knows your recent ''sick days''
are due to complications of said
pregnancy, can your boss fire you for
taking those sick days (which you are
due as part of your employment
agreement anyway)? Is there a SOL
on this?

Re: termination when pregnant
Discharge for taking sick days during pregnancy is illegal, especially if provided for under your employment agreement. More information is required to make sure you have met all the requirements.
I would suggest you contact an attorney ASAP to discuss your case. You can call me if you have more questions or would like to set-up an appointment to discuss your situation.
