Lawson-West’s expert employment solicitors and lawyers have significant experience in dealing with matters relating to being dismissed while pregnant.
It is possible that if you are dismissed during your pregnancy and/or maternity leave for reasons relating to your pregnancy or maternity leave, this would amount to an act of discrimination and be automatically unfair giving rise to claims.
If you are dismissed from employment whilst pregnant, you are entitled to have the reasons for your dismissal in writing.
In situations where you face possible redundancy, this can also be unfair if the reason for your selection is connected to you being pregnant or on maternity leave. If redundancies are being made whilst you are on maternity leave you have the right to be offered any suitable alternative position in preference to other employees who are also candidates for redundancy.
If you find yourself in a situation where you have been dismissed while you are pregnant we can help. Please remember there are strict time limits in Employment claims and you should take good free legal advice as soon as possible.
In addition to No Win No Fee, Lawson-West solicitors act for our clients on a variety of other funding arrangements including Legal Expenses insurance funding. We can assess your case to decide which is the best funding option for you.
