"Ms. Atwell was an employee prior to and during her pregnancy. After the birth of her children, she informed us of her decision to be a stay at home mom for her twins. We fully supported her decision, but were ready to put her back to work," the statement read. "After a few months, she indicated that she wanted to return to work. We were happy to rehire her because she had been a good server. However, due to our staffing, and her limited availability, we were only able to offer her a couple of shifts per week."
