You may be able to get unemployment benefits in Oregon if you're suspended or fired from work, but it depends on why your employer fired you. You can't get benefits if your employer fired you for misconduct, like stealing from your job or missing a lot of work without a good reason.
In the United States, an employer cannot refuse parental or maternity leave if the employee is eligible under the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA). Here are some key points regarding parental and maternity leave:
So state laws vary, but generally, although you are not working while on medical leave under the Family and Medical Leave Act, or FMLA, you are still employed and ineligible for unemployment benefits. Unemployment insurance is targeted to those who have lost their jobs.
You may be denied benefits if you: Were fired because you violated a company policy, rule or procedure, such as absenteeism or insubordination. Quit your job without good cause, such as a compelling personal reason.
Once you tell your boss and colleagues that you're pregnant, set up a meeting with your HR rep. You need to give at least 30 days' notice for FMLA, but it's best to know as far in advance as possible what your options are. This is also a good time to talk to co-workers who also went on leave from your company.
If you choose not to work because you are pregnant, you cannot receive unemployment compensation. However, if your company fires you because of your pregnancy (and you are “able and available” for work), you can receive unemployment compensation.
Visit the FMLA website to find and print out the FMLA form. Have your employer complete section 1, then fill out the required information in section 2, like your full name. Meet with your healthcare provider and have them fill out section 3, then return the completed form to your employer.
The laws on maternity leave vary from state to state. But generally, no. An employer cannot force you to take a leave before the qualifying event happens.
If you decide not to take all of your maternity leave (52 weeks) you must give at least 8 weeks' notice prior to your return date to return to work early (see 'Return to work' below). If you only wish to take OML you should give 8 weeks' notice prior to your return date in order to return to work at the end of OML.
