Pregnancy discrimination claims in London. Fired for pregnancy, denied maternity leave, workplace pregnancy discrimination.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I be fired for being pregnant?
No. Terminating employment due to pregnancy is discrimination based on sex. Employers must accommodate pregnancy-related needs and cannot penalize pregnant employees.
What if I was fired right before maternity leave?
Termination shortly before planned leave may indicate discrimination. Employers must have legitimate, non-discriminatory reasons documented before any termination.
What remedies can the HRTO award?
Monetary compensation for lost wages and dignity injury, policy changes, required training, reinstatement. We pursue maximum appropriate remedies.
Do I need witnesses for my HRTO hearing?
Witness testimony strengthens your case but is not always required. Documents, emails, and your own testimony can be sufficient. We advise on evidence strategy.
