“Pregnant was said up – get 100 000 in damages”
“A woman who told her employer that she was pregnant was shortly thereafter laid off. The labour court has sentenced the former employer to pay sek 100,000 in damages, writes Helsingborgs Dagblad.”
“the Woman would have begun their employment at a taxi company in Skåne as of 1 February 2018. In november 2017, she informed the employer that she was expecting twins, and that she was halfway through the pregnancy. The written response she received was, inter alia, that it was out of the question that she could start working and that she could throw his contract.”
“After a few days got the woman know that she is made redundant and the period of notice of one month would commence on 15 december.”
“the Employer has indicated labour shortages as the reason for the termination.”
“According to the discrimination Ombudsman (DO) broke the taxi company both against discrimination and against the parental leave act, it is enough with two months’ notice before the parental leave.”
“DO had 122 cases of suspected discrimination during maternity leave or pregnancy during 2018. The number has increased in the last few years, especially when it comes to discrimination linked to graviditetsbesked.”
