(AP) — A Topeka woman says she was fired by the company that processes new managed health care benefits in Kansas because she took a leave after having a baby.Jane Anabe says Policy Studies Inc. fired her for job abandonment in February.The Kansas Health Policy Authority hired PSI last year to operate the state's HealthWave clearinghouse. The clearinghouse processes new applications for managed health care benefits under Medicaid and the State Children's Health Insurance Program.Anabe had been working for PSI for less than two months when her baby was born. The company's policy allows eight weeks of leave for employees who have worked more than 90 days. Anabe says the policy doesn't say anything about leave for employees with less than 90 days.more . . . http://www.fox4kc.com/news/sns-ap-ks--pregnancyleavecon...

She's not protected by any law FMLA requires the employee to have worked for at least a year with the employer in order to be covered. If she was hired seven months along, they must have noticed she was pregnant when she was hired.

She was informed in writing that she did not have enough time as an employee to qualify for leave, and what she was advised to do.FMLA is 12 months; they required 90 days - she simply was not covered.

Perhaps she was a fat lard ass and didn't know she was in the family way until she dropped. Dope and twinkies gets one that way.
And of course there are those moonbats who believe that once a baby is born, both parents should get a free paycheck for no work from there on out, forever and ever, Amen. These moonbats tend to be British, I've noticed.
