Can I Claim For Pregnancy Discrimination?
If you would like to claim for any type of pregnancy discrimination it is important to act fast. Your claim must be issued within 3 months of the incident and seeking the advice of a solicitor will help to speed up the process.
Unfair Dismissal
Dismissal on the Grounds of Pregnancy or Maternity Rights is automatically unfair and employees have the right to take their case to an Employment Tribunal. DSM legal have specialist solicitors on hand to help you strengthen your case and pursue a successful claim. Some examples of pregnancy related dismissals are:
• Dismissal due to paid time off for antenatal care
• Redundancy given because of a pregnancy
• If you have taken or want to take maternity leave
• Dismissal during your maternity leave
• If you have been forced or bullied out of your job
Unlawful Sex Discrimination
Pregnancy-related dismissals are discriminatory and it's likely that a pregnant employee could also claim for unlawful sex discrimination. This covers any unfair behaviour that has affected your role. Whilst there is a limit on the amount of compensation a tribunal can award for unfair dismissal, there is no limit for unlawful discrimination.
Examples of unlawful sex discrimination include:
• Denied promotion
• Demoted
• Denied training opportunities
