Legal Question in Employment Law in Maryland

Your rights will depend in part on the size of the employer. This is because certain laws protecting pregnancy discrimination and so forth only apply to certain sized employers. Depending on the circumstances, there could be a violation of federal law (Family Medical Leave Act and/or Title VII of the Civil Rights Act) and state law (MD Fair Employment Practices Act) , among other things.

Evaluating a possible discrimination claim is extremely fact specific and an attorney will need to know more details to properly analyze any potential claims. Employment discrimination cases may require a complaint with the EEOC and/or filing suit. You may wish to contact an employment lawyer right away to seek legal review of the circumstances surrounding your dismissal.

While the above is not a substitute for legal advice, I hope that it helps point you in the right direction.
