Not enough information here, so your wife should speak to a plaintiff's employment lawyer ASAP to see if she has a case.

She might have claims for pregnancy and sex discrimination. The proximity of the firing to the scheduled maternity leave is interesting, but not dispositive. I need more facts re what the employer knew, the employer's policies re maternity leave and short-term disability, the employer's history re allowing women to take maternity leave, your wife's job performance, the reasons given for her termination and whether there is any truth to those reasons. I handle employment matters for plaintiffs and defendants. Please call me for a free consult.
