My job has been slowly laying people off. I am pregnant and I’m afraid they are going to lay me off because they know I will be going on maternity leave soon. Is that legal even though I live in a state where they can fire you for no reason? Will the FMLA laws cover me or can they do what they want since they have been laying people off?

I started work on a 3 month probationary period. Towards the end of this period i was signed off sick by my doctor (which took me over the probationary period) I was asked to have a meeting to review my probationary period. At this meeting i was told they werent happy with my absences (no complaints about my quality of work) and was offered a new probationary period which i agreed to, however when receiving confirmation of this and giving me 1 weeks notice for previous probationary period, they informed me they could not guarantee me 16 hours a week(previous contract hours were 25 hours)or offered me a reserve shift at another store and asked me to let them know of my choice by contacting them. And wished me success for the future should they not hear from me. On the letter there was no contact address or telephone number, so i have been unable to contact them to discuss this

Does the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) apply to part-time workers?

I teach college courses and am due to give birth at the end of August. My boss told me she does not want me to cancel classes at the beginning of the semester. But, I would like a couple weeks to recuperate after delivering.

I work as an adjunct (part-time). Does the FMLA apply to me? Am I entitled by law to take at least a few weeks off?
I have worked for this college part-time for one year.

Religious Harassment in Workplace?

Admin — Fri, 18 Nov 2011 19:46:31 +0000

I am a male Roman Catholic who began current job almost 2 years ago. While interviewing me my future boss asked me what I was getting my Masters Degree in; I told her Theology. Shortly after beginning my job she would constantly ask me questions about my religion and why I believed in it. She also told me she wasn’t a practicing jew. During working hours she would constantly ask me questions about my religious beliefs. One day while talking to me about “sins” I told her I believe in confession (confessing my sins to a priest) and she said to me “oh, come on you’re much to bright to believe in that.” I told her I do believe in that and she laughed at me in a room with at least 10 other people. She kept talking to me about reincarnation and gave me books on it even though I told her it was against my religious beliefs. She kept asking aloud, “did you read the books”? I’ve been on disability for past 3 months for panic attacks. She made me so nervous I can’t go back to work, I’m on meds!
Sorry I didn’t have enough room to finish. When I did tell her the conversations made me uncomfortable she then made my work life unbearable. She picked on every little thing I did until I couldn’t take it anymore. She said that I had a family to support and I’d better watch myself. I’m the only guy in the office and when I received several e-mails concerning male sexual stereotypes she said “oh, well that’s what happens when you’re the only man in an all female office.” This may sound “weak” to some of you but this atmosphere at my job mentally wore me down and I can’t go back there to work. I’m on an anti-depressant and an anti-anxiety med. Do I have any legal recourse? Please don’t judge me, all I’m seeking is legal type opinions. Thank you all.
