Guarantees for pregnant women
Pregnant women have special labor guarantees in accordance with labor legislation.
The employer has no right to involve pregnant women in the following jobs:
to work at night;
overtime work;
to work on weekends and holidays;
to business trips;
withdrawal from annual paid leave.
In addition, the legislation establishes restrictions on the work of women in heavy work, work with harmful and dangerous working conditions, as well as lifting and transporting heavy objects in excess of the established standards.
Protection from dismissal
One of the most important guarantees is the establishment, on the initiative of the employer, of restrictions on the termination of an employment contract with pregnant women, women with young children, single parents and other persons raising a child without a mother.
Such employees are under special legal protection of the State.
In the event of the expiration of the employment contract, the pregnant employee has the right to extend the employment relationship in cases provided for by law, provided there is a medical opinion and a written application.
