Description
Abstract: Work/life balance is an important human resources concept. But when an employee tips the scales more toward “life” than “work,” conflicts may arise. This article looks at the case of a newly employed pregnant woman who was not yet eligible for leave under the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA), but who took frequent absences. She claimed that her termination was a “constructive discharge” in violation of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act. Trierweiler v. Wells Fargo Bank, No. 10-1343, April 8, 2011 (8th Cir.)
