Even with all the amazing medical technology at our disposal, it is still not possible to estimate each delivery date with 100% accuracy. but if they didn't ask and you knew? So they can't lay her off etc. Pregnant employees are not contractually bound to their contract's cancellation provisions during the Schutzfrist- normally they may immediately cancel an employment contract during this time with impunity. It starts protecting once you told your employer that you are pregnant. After an expecting mother has informed her employer of her pregnancy, the employer must forward the information to the Arbeitsschutzämter, Employment Protection Office or the Gewerberaufsichtsaemter, Business Supervisor's Office. I'm not 100% sure, but if you know before they hire you, you are likely to be easily fired. I am expecting a baby due June 2006. Great post, should be stickied for everyone with questions about elternzeit and elterngeld. No, you're protected as soon as you are pregnant; you can tell the employer up to two weeks after you've been laid off (see https://www.gesetze-im-internet.de/muschg_2018/__17.html). Both employer and employee may contact the office responsible for consultation at any time. Here are some condensed highlights from the Maternity Protection Act: In the aforementioned points either the Arbeitsscchutzämter, Employment Protection Office or the Gewerberaufsichtsämter, Business Supervisor's Office is to act as the deciding authority in unclear cases. Only in extremely rare exceptions are employers permitted to dismiss a pregnant employee during this time. edit: just seen that you haven't started yet. Expecting and nursing mothers are not permitted to work at night between 20:00 and 06:00. don't forget, though, that the "Kündigungsschutz" won't start until you have informed your employer. Not many company's want to invest in the complicated and often unsuccessful undertaking of challenging the higher authorities on this subject. It's not a dumb question, and congratulations on the upcoming root-to-stem remodeling of your life! Question @Poussin: In which week/month were you when were you given the job? Click here for download information. Are you an American, or do you have a U.S. nexus? Do you know what the laws are regarding informing your employer?? i mean, if the co. knew she would be gone within 10 months, the company might have considered another candidate. they can for any reason they want and give her only 2 weeks notice too. This is revelatory news for many English speaking expats. Would they go into it that deep and contact her doctor or require her to lie down medical records of when she visited the doctor? I know you asked about youself. This Kündigungsverbot applies when an employer was properly notified (best method is per Einschrieben, Registered Mail with return receipt) and the pregnancy and/or the forecasted birth date was verbally made known or the employer received a Certificate of Expected Date of Delivery. I was at 8 weeks when I was given the job. If the birth is later than calculated, you will not loose anytime away from your baby, you will still be granted a full 8 weeks Maternity Leave starting with your baby's arrival. However, if this is your first child, do talk to some of your friends who have had children about their experiences - for example, (should you ask) I would recommend that you take at least two weeks, perhaps even a whole month off straight after the birth. My friend was on a 6 month temp position in UK in a good company with an excellent salary and position but they just didn't extend past 6 months once she told them. Don't worry. @Kay: why was that directed at me? German law provides for extensive protection of pregnant employees and employees on leave in connection with pregnancy. IF you fail to tell your employer he can still issue a "ordentliche Kündigung" even if you are pregnant. Expecting and nursing mothers under 18 are not permitted to work more than 8 hours daily or 80 hours in a 2-week period.
