A Maryland woman who was fired weeks after telling her employer she had breast cancer has been awarded more than $100,000. According to the lawsuit, Rankin worked from home the day after a biopsy. Medical leave requests weren't approved, and she was later fired. The defense argued Rankin was fired for excessive absences and not treated differently for medical issues. ———Information from: The Daily Record of Baltimore, http://www.thedailyrecord.com
