BAXTER FIRES PROBATIONARY EMPLOYEE AFTER MISCARRIAGE
 
 
Despite perfect attendance and positive evaluations in her first two months, Baxter adheres to its policy of firing probationary employees who miss more than three days of work. The Court dismisses the complaint because the Pregnancy Discrimination Act does not require "leave that is more generous than that granted to non-pregnant employees."
