You can be assured Lawson West’s solicitors keep up to date with the latest legal developments and changes to bring you the best advice.
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.

After proving a case of maternity discrimination, Lawson West obtained an award of £10,000 for the Claimant’s injury to feelings award, which then increased by more than 50% to £15,332.19 because of uplifts and interest.
Recently, the University of Exeter carried out a study that focussed on the attitudes of almost 300 workers regarding a fictional female employee who was expecting a baby and her intentions towards the duration of her maternity leave and return to work.
