Dismissal During Pregnancy – 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.
