26w, 5d... just was hired... now what???!?

Question

Ok so yes I hid my belly, and I was hired for a case manager/social worker position. I know companies are not allowed to discriminate but facing reality, they do... Paid Training is for 3 months (due date 1/14/17) starting this coming Monday! But how soon should I tell them I am expecting? I am required to hand in a physical, I was thinking to have my doc write out I have no limitations with this position, maybe that may help????!?!!!!?

Answer

I would just tell them and then trying to have your doctor write out that you have no limitations you don't know that yet. What if you have to lift something and you can't do it and then they wonder why they can't fire you for being pregnant.

Answer

So I'm a recruiter for case managers and I've always been told that once you signed the forms for employment and accepted the offer you were golden.. they can't let you go but I doubt they'll offer any kind of paid mat leave etc and it might be hard to get to all of your appointments if you've not accrued any vacation

Answer

I would tell them right away. I was hired for a position back in August. Was giving restrictions by my OB in September and the company forced me on unpaid personal leave a week later.

Answer

I think you should be fine (speaking from someone that had to quit due to too many hospital visits and no FMLA). Just know FMLA won't cover you until one year or 1000 hours worked on the job (at least in FL).

You might have a short unpaid maternity leave, companies usually make their own time limits for these so just find out. They can't fire you for being pregnant but they can for taking too many days off due to sickness and such they find loopholes for everything unfortunately. So just try not to take too many days off until then! :)

Answer

I just got hired at an airport too same exact weeks and days that you are in wondering how everything will work since they will fly me out for orientation and everything
