Title: When Can a Pregnant Public Employee Be Dismissed?

Section 3, Article 29 of the Law on Public Employees 2010 stipulates:

The head of a public service provider is not allowed to unilaterally terminate the employment contract with a public employee in the following cases:

- A public employee is sick or has an accident, under treatment for occupational diseases according to the decision of a medical institution, except in cases specified at point c, clause 1 of this Article;

- A public employee is on annual leave, personal leave, and other leave cases allowed by the head of the public service provider;

- A female public employee is pregnant, on maternity leave, or nursing a child under 36 months of age, except in cases where the public service provider ceases operations.

Thus, if the public service provider ceases operations, a pregnant public employee can still lose their job.

Respectfully!
