Dismissal During Pregnancy – Employment lawyer
A dismissal during pregnancy can engage special statutory protection. I assess notification, deadlines, and the appropriate next steps.
For Dismissal During Pregnancy, these points are especially important:
- ›It matters whether the employer knew of the pregnancy or is informed in time.
- ›If pregnancy was unknown when notice arrived, prompt later notification may preserve protection.
- ›Only exceptional cases may receive prior approval from the competent authority.
- ›The court claim deadline still requires separate attention despite special protection.
The first step is to clarify: Whether the employer knew of the pregnancy, when it was notified, and whether an exception approval exists.

Mr. Lerch provided me with highly professional, calm, and dedicated support throughout my legal proceedings. I particularly appreciated his honest assessment of my case and the clear communication he maintained throughout the entire process. Thanks to his strategy and preparation, we achieved a significantly better outcome than originally anticipated in the penalty order. I felt well-advised and taken seriously at all times.
