Question Details: I was terminated from my position with no warning or any chance to correct my behavior; is this unlawful? I am pregnant and suspect that my employer was trying to avoid paying my maternity benefits.
For most people, employment is at will, which means that you can be fired at any time, without notice, without a reason. When you talk about a chance to correct your behavior, I'd have ask if you know of anything that could be an issue.
However, if there's nothing like that, and you somehow came up with something more concrete suggesting that your pregnancy was the reason for your firing, you would want to talk to a labor and employment discrimination attorney in your area.
