Re: Pregnancy and the amount of leave I can take
As long as your employer does not discriminate on the basis of pregnancy, it is not illegal. FMLA leave only kicks in when there are 50 or more employees and OFLA leave only kicks in when there are 25 or more employees. Since your employer only has 14 employees, it is not obligated to provide non-paid leave for pregnancy.
Discrimination could arise if the employer provides leave for other types of disabilities.
