Hi, Hope you had informed your Employer about the Pregnancy. Employer cannot terminate an employee during pregnancy even if the reason for termination is due to low performance. It is against law.

Hi Priyanka,
It is illegal to terminate an employee based on pregnancy. This is typically protected under laws related to pregnancy discrimination or maternity leave. However, specific laws and protections can vary depending on your location.
You should consult with a legal professional who is familiar with the labor laws in your jurisdiction. They will be able to provide you with advice and guidance based on the specific details of your situation.
Keep in mind that it's important to document any interactions or communications related to your termination, as this could be useful if you decide to pursue legal action. Additionally, you may want to consider seeking advice from a local employment rights organization or union, if applicable. This information is not legal advice, and it's always best to consult with a qualified legal professional for advice tailored to your specific circumstances.
Thanks

Hi, Your employer can't terminate at whims. The performance appraisal is not a valid or legal criterion for termination of employment. Your posting gives the impression that your boss is a foolish performer.
The employee needs to inform the employer about her pregnancy with the medical reports in support. If you have informed your pregnancy prior to termination, it is illegal and void because the law prevents employers from terminating an employee during pregnancy.
You need to challenge this before the labor office in your official jurisdiction. Nowadays, people prefer to send their complaints to the PMO for a solution and intervention too.
