Legal Question in Discrimination Law in Pennsylvania
Can I be fired while on maternity leave? Been w/ employer for 2.5 yrs. Waitress. Never written up. I got pregnant and towards the end of my term my hours started getting cut back. I went to my doctors to see if it was ok to work full time and he said yes. I than went to my employer and told them I thought I wasn�t being treated fair that my hours were being cut back because I can still perform my job. Boss told me I was a �liability� and that�s why hours were cut back.: Baby was born and went to doctors to see if it was ok to work. Doctor says yes. I called my employer up and they told me to look for a new job. Can they do this? I feel as if I was retaliated against because I complained about my hours and them telling me I was a �liability�. I just feel something isn�t right here. Wrongful termination, discrimination?

It souns like you do have a claim agains the employer. You will need to retain a lawyer to assit you with bringing a claim against the employer. Please note that you should contact a lawyer right away as there are strict timelines on getting the complaint filed.
