I was fired for missing too many days, due to morning sickness. they fired me just after i started to show so now theres no way anyone will hire me i even had a lady look at my stomach and laugh as she took my application
okay enough crying... i was only denied bc there is a high demand for security officers (what i was doing) with my background (Military).
I have the appeal form but i don't think just putting down that i have a belly will do the trick... what do you think?
also i never actually missed a day i was sent home bc i looked to sick to work although it's a little late to be arguing that point
Answers:
That really, really sucks,
Generally, under current federal law, an employer shouldn't ask job applicants if they are pregnant; a job seeker also is not required to inform an employer of her pregnancy, legal experts say. An employer also can't force a pregnant woman to take time off during her pregnancy or force her to quit because of fears the work may be hazardous to her or her fetus. Employees who go on maternity leave must generally get the same treatment as other employees with disabilities or time off.
State laws are usually even more strict. You might want to talk to a lawyer.

You were fired for cause...you are ineligible for benefits.
go to the labor board and complain about your previous employer...that is some pretty harsh treatment...
Go to the state labor board and file a complaint against your former employer, or talk to a lawyer. It's illegal to harrass a pregnant female. What city are you from. Laws are different between states, and it helps us more if you told us that much. It's a federal law. Some family or something act. Its suppose to be posted at work. The courts are very friendly towards a pregnant woman. Lawyers love these kinds of cases.
It depends. Was your employer aware that you were pregnant? And can you prove that their treatment of you worsened after they were notified? If so, then you could have a case for constructive dismissal or discrimination on the grounds of you being pregnant. Anyhow, easier said than done, but cheer up, it's not the end of the world, and congratulations.
If you're sick too much, you're sick too much. This wasn't because you are pregnant but because you were sick from it, big difference.
You have absolutely no cause to collect unemployment. You were fired due to your own choices and you can't find another job due to your own choices. It isn't up to the rest of us to support you during your pregnancy.
I'm so sorry..that is crappy of them!
I would go into a search mode for a dark blue or black jacket type of pantsuit that is large enough to hide what you have till you are hired.
It is possible to do this. You can hide alot under a jacket type pant suit %26 dont button it. Be creative and try on a ruffle white smock/ blouse and let it hang out just underneath the jacket that matches your maternity pants or a mid length business type skirt.
Pull your hairup and some small earrings %26 matching necklace to draw the eyes up to your face and not other areas.
Carry a big shoulder strap purse, let it hand off to one side that comes up enough to hide belly from side.
Get one of those plastic files in your hand that put in your resumes and information you would normally carry with you to an interview or seeking employment.Carry it in front of you to help with the coverup and it also keeps your hands busy. When you set down situp and keep the file in your lap up leaning against your abdomen. I hope you are getting the picture here..
Don't tell them or offer that information on your own that you are pregnant when seeking employment. You are looking for a long term career with the company, and you believe your skills would benefit the company
I don't know the answer to your question about unemployment, but I would surely try finding work at a baby store somewhere. What better sales person to have than a soon to be mommy herself.
Also I would go directly to the unemployment office in your area in person before filing this again. Find out what they recommend you do now that you have a military background and expecting a child with no job or money coming in.
What is a female military vet to do?
I am laid off too and people I have talked to all over are getting fired for anything that H.R can find on them.Now the company I was laid off of is telling their employees that they can not speak, look or talk to anyone. They must ask permission from there lead to use the restroom and all must turn in another resume. They are building and building onto the stress of the employees to get them to quit so they will not have to pay severence pay and unemployment.
Good Luck and Let us Know What Happens! I'll be watching for your Posts. :0)
Missing work is just cause and besides your state is an "at will" state meaning they can fire you at anytime for any reason. Now talk to your Doctor about him putting you on disability early then can get you some income.
