Can someone fire you because you didn't tell them you were pregnant in an interview. Though no one asked and the application said not to imply it?

It is a cliche that most cliches are true,
but then like most cliches, that cliche is untrue.

i think so because they don't want to go through the process of training you just to have you leave in a few months... they did that to my sister and thats the reason they gave

depends on where you live and what the business is

here, you can be fired for any reason other than the obvious
pregnancy will take away time from your work, it's going to hinder it in some way eventually
so they can reserve the right if your state doesn't shun it

So far as I know it's illegal to be fired purely for pregnancy, that's discrimination. However, it doesn't stop most companies as they'll fire you for some other lame reason, when in fact it is because you're pregnant.

If it's going to affect your job, you should mention it. Whether they can fire you or not, I don't know. Even if you don't get fired, they sure won't like it.

I don't think so.  It wasn't required on the application nor necessary for them to know.  Also, if they asked you and didn't let you have the job then you could file for discrimination.  But I don't believe you could get fired for not telling them you were pregnant at the interview.

No, they aren't allowed to discriminate based on that. They have to accommodate you once you're employed. And give you maternity leave. Then as long as you come back within the proper time period, give you your position again.

Depends on the state in the US.  In Maryland they do not have to provide a reason for termination.

No and I don't think they noticed. They might not notice when I go in tomorrow either.
