[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, you need to separate what you do from what she does.  What are the actual policies?  You are a lawsuit waiting to happen.  [/quote]

Why and how exactly?  Because I'm frustrated with what I perceive as potentially taking advantage?  We are a very small organization with no set policies.  I've been extremely generous with her, probably to a fault, in the past, which is likely why this situation is occurring now (allotting her extra sick leave, teleworking, etc).  I feel like if she were working somewhere else, this definitely wouldn't fly.

The more I think about it, the more I think the issue is with her inaccessibility on the days she claims to be teleworking.  Of course, if she's taking paid leave, she shouldn't be working.  [/quote]

OP - it sounds like your organization needs (if you don't already have) written policy regarding availability during telework, exceeding your leave allotment, etc. You need to be able to reference these when you speak to her regarding expectations and her performance. Take your feelings and emotions, especially about her pregnancy, out of it. You are coming off as holier-than-thou (I NEVER take an unplanned day off, I ALWAYS work when I'm out of the office).[/quote]
