I know many cases where small employers were left paying 100k's after taking on a woman for a position, and just a few months later 'she got pregnant'. - employer had to fork over 12 months of pay - employer had to disrupt their business and hire another person The employer struggled to eek out their own profit to feed their own family and meet their obligations. This is a common scam that some women will get a job, with the intention of juicing the parental leave AND then we they are supposed to return to work.... they instead quit. This scam has cost my friends a lot of money and suffering because these women are predators and care not of others, but getting something for themselves. And they scream "mah discrimination".

Do you have the employers names and any documents or court records to show that this is what was uncovered? Why were your friends not able to determine the quality of employees during the interview and on-boarding process? Have you actually read the FMLA? They would have had to work their for quite a bit of time before requesting leave, and even then there are additional requirements: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Family_and_Medical_Leave_Act_of_1993 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Family_and_Medical_Leave_Act_o... I was denied FMLA when I got full-time custody of my kids. Not saying that you are, but you come across as a biased person trying to stereotype and generalize women. FMLA does not only apply to women either.

  The world does not revolve around US law. Where I live, you just have to surpass your probationary period to qualify. My apologies for being biased by sharing a story of how my friends lost 100k's, next time I guess I should bring documentation and court cases before daring to tell you about something that happened. /s And why the heck would I tell you the name of my friends business to effectively give you my identity? The scam I outlined is common enough and you will hear it happen if you ask. A variation is that women will take their 12 months pay from a business, and then a certain percentage decide they do not want to work and then do not go back to their jobs. Whether it applies to men or women both under FMLA law has no bearing on the morality of executing this scam. I'm not sure why you even pointed it out and what you're trying to say with that information.
