[quote=AroundTheBlock]From reading this it seems the person told the company a while back she was planning on taking leave prior to having the baby.  The company said okay.  Now, the company is changing their mind and telling her no she cannot take leave even if she has the hours.

This may not be illegal but it sure is immoral.  Sorry, but if I (I own a company) tell an employee who's expecting a baby they can take the month prior off AND they have the actual hours to do it...I wouldn't change my mind and destroy the plans this family had for months based on what I told her.  It's not like she asked for a month off without notice, she spoke with HR several months beforehand (probably to avoid this exact situation).

I work with a lot of attorneys but none of them employment ones.  But, if I had to guess they can force you to work but they would have to pay you for your vacation time if you were forced to resign.  But, I don't know about refusing insurance.  I know plenty of people who go on 1-2 month vacations and they still have health insurance.  As long as your a paid employee of the company you should have insurance.  Though, I could be wrong.  But, it'd be wild if companies could just take away health insurance here and there as they pleased :P

I want to hear from this employment attorney also.  Can a company fire you or withhold insurance because you're having a baby and cannot make the one year requirement for FMLA?  I find that interesting.[/quote]
