FAQ
FMLA is done based on what her doctor will sign her off for. Being on FMLA will not protect her from a layoff. She can be laid off while on leave and it's legal.
As with federal law, employers should provide a reasonable accommodation for a pregnancy to the extent that they would for other employees who are temporarily disabled. However, the Texas law also only applies to employers that have a minimum of 15 employees.
Employers that have at least 50 employees within a 75-mile radius, whether they are part-time or full-time, for a minimum of 20 weeks in the year need to provide the 12 weeks of maternity or paternity leave. The FMLA leave can start before the child is born, but it cannot last more than 12 weeks.
Eligible employees are entitled to 12 weeks of unpaid leave per year. Leave can be taken for the birth or adoption of a child or to care for a serious health condition affecting the employee or a family member. Leave can be continuous or intermittent, and in some cases, may begin before or after the child's birth.
Proving pregnancy discrimination requires more than a victim's claim. There must be evidence that the employer acted against the individual exclusively based on their pregnancy. That evidence must be clear, inarguable, and documented.
