PREGNANT WORKER HAS FMLA RIGHTS DESPITE EMPLOYMENT FOR LESS THAN ONE YEAR
 
 
In January a hospital employee notified her employer that she was pregnant and would be taking a leave in July - more than 12 months after her hire. She was fired two weeks after requesting a leave. "An employee is not barred from proceeding with a retaliation claim under the FMLA if he or she has been employed for less than twelve months but requests leave to begin more than one year after employment commenced."
 
(Beffert v. Pennsylvania Dep't of Pub. Welfare, E.D. Pa.)
