    Default May Be Fired for Being Pregnant

    My question involves labor and employment law for the state of: Pennsylvania

    I was fired today for something I did 3 months ago...Im 6 months pregnant.

    In jan I was severely behind on invoicing...I was asked why I told him the I had too many responsibility and it slipped away from me...I fixed it with in a month and had been told that my job was safe as recently as last week."

    In March I was demoted from Operation Manager to Office Manager when he hired a new woman(New operation manager) to help the business and since I was going away on maternity leave. The first day the woman was hired she told me that she would never hire a woman w young children.

    I was fired with in a week from this woman ended her training. The reason I was given for being fired was the invoices, the company contact database we have been having problems, which is completely computer related I told him that wasnt my fault it was the computer error and he agreed, and then he said other "things" what the other things are I dont know.

    When I was initial hired I was 6 month pregnant(sept 06) but I wasnt on the books like all his employees at the time and I was part time. I was a front desk employee the most simple job. I didnt get put on the books until July 07 by that time I was running the place with little training I basically winged it. He is never there.

    I have been recently going to more dr appt because there is some concern with this pregnancy.

    He also fired another pregnant woman recently too...Actually I fired her... I told her that her position wasnt there anymore which is what was told to me. She was suppose to be coming back from bed rest when I talked to her.

    Default Re: Maybe Fired for Being Pregnant

    If you want your situation analyzed, you can discuss the details with a local plaintiff-side employment lawyer. At this point, you're not sure if your pregnancy had anything to do with your termination or if it was for the various other problems you had at work - and we know less about the facts and circumstances than you do.
