- How to address excessive absences for doctors visits or pregnancy-related illnesses
- What to do if a pregnant employee or new mother refuses to return to a full-time schedule
- Laying off an employee who is on maternity leave What accommodations (i.e. part-time work or desk duty) must be made and for how long for pregnant employees
