Termination of employment during pregnancy, what can be done?
23-Jan-2023 (In Labour & Service Law)
I work for a non profit registered in the UK as Fundraising and communication manager. I'm three months pregnant. I shared the news with my employer some time ago verbally / over message. I was told of my termination today. The reason cited was lack of funds for the NGO and hence restructuring of organisational priorities. I had joined the role in September. What are my rights in this case? Is this dismissal legal?
Mam,
I have comprehended and understood the crux of your query. The termination certainly does not seem to be legal on the face of it. But it does depend on a few factors. I have a few questions that you may answer:
1) By what mode were you told of your termination?
2) Have they communicated to you about compensating you by way of paying 1/2 months salary or any other sum?
3) At the time of your appointment, what all documents have you signed?
Please answer these questions to give a clearer picture of the facts.

You have all rights which are describe in the labour guidelines. You have to send a legal notice to ask restoration of service and for compensation. If he will not resume your service than you can file case in the Labour Court
