What rights does a new employee (3 months)have regarding pregnancy leave if the firm they are working for has approximately 25 people?
Question Details: I was let go from my old firm the end of June and I was 4 months pregnant. I am now looking for a new job and have found one I am really interested in but am wondering about my rights to pregnancy leave. I know that FMLA allows for 12 weeks of job protection but was told that doesn't apply if the firm has less than 50 people. Is this correct?
