[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Actually, if you're hired while prgnant, it's within the employer's rights to ask you to come to work the day after giving birth. FMLA, the legal justification for taking time off to care for a baby, isn't in effect unless you've been in a job for a year. If you haven't accrued any sick or vacation time, you can ask for unpaid leave, but it's legal for them to say no.[/quote]No
It takes about 3 days to be discharged from hospital. You cannot ask anyone who is a patient at a hospital to come to work the next day.

Any company that demands a woman to come back to work in such a short period of time is playing with fire.

I think every pregnancy does not lead to a live birth, so someone not disclosing it is very understandable. Hospital stays are sick leave[/quote]
You're confusing what's moral with what's legal. If you're not covered by FMLA--which a woman giving birth <12 months after being hired isn't--you're at the mercy of sick/vwcation policies. And once you've used your leave & don't return to work, it's 100% legal to fire you, even if you're still in the hospitql.[/quote]
