Your question raises more questions. Were you being paid overtime for the extra hours you worked (over 40 hours/week)? Overtime means time and a half your hourly wage. How long did you work there? Were you the only one in the office with your particular title? Do you believe you were the victim of discrimination based upon your status as a mother of an infant?

Please feel free to send me an email if you would like to follow up.

Good luck!
