Legal Question in Medical Leave in Washington

Maternity Leave

I worked in a gas station from the time my boss found out I was pregnant she put up a help wanted sign, I was 5 months. She said she needed someone to take my position, Because she needed to be covered in case I delivered early. That left me w/ only 5 hrs a week or less depending on if someone needed shift covered. Prior to this I worked 40+ hrs a week.
