I am pregnant and am off on a sick leave bbefore my maternity leave starts. Because I will be off for more than my 52 weeks my employer is threatening my employment for when I return. Also there has been problems all along with discrimination of me being pregnant since my boss can't have children herself. She has already made me feel bad for being pregnant and tried to take hours and pay away to supplement for the new hire who is taking my place wail I am gone. I have been employed for 8 years with these people and never have any problems until I am pregnant. Is it OK for them to be threatening my job and can they take my job since I will be off for 62 weeks not 52.

I am sorry that you have to deal with undue work-related stress while you are pregnant. The company is not allowed to terminate your employment for reasons related to your need to take medical or maternity/parental leave. If that happens, call me anytime at 416-216-5906. Lumi Pungea
