Maternity law and work: your questions answered

Questioner

I am 20 weeks pregnant and am alone in the store, is that allowed?

Lawyer

You are entitled to maternity leave from 6 to 4 weeks before the day after the expected delivery date. This leave lasts until the day of delivery. You are entitled to at least 10 weeks of maternity leave. The maternity leave starts on the day after the birth. The maternity leave and maternity leave must be at least 16 weeks together. You cannot take the leave in parts.

Questioner

Ok Thank you for the response, but my question is whether it is allowed to put me in a store alone while I am pregnant? Thank you in advance!

Lawyer

It depends on what kind of work you do in the store. The employer is obliged to organize the work for the pregnant employee in such a way that the work has no harmful consequences for the pregnancy, the unborn child or the employee himself.
