Add Comment Question: I have a pregnant employee who is unable to perform her duties. She has miss over 50% of her shifts in the last six weeks. Can this employee be terminated even though the pregnancy may be the reason for her inability to meet her responsibilities? Answer: You absolutely should not terminate employment. You need to accommodate her. You can also suggest that she take an unpaid medical absence until her health improves. There are was to force that to happen. I am happy to discuss.
