Fixed-term employment contract and pregnant: This is what you should know. Pregnancy does not affect the length of the employment contract.
The employer is not obliged to extend a fixed-term contract due to pregnancy. This will therefore expire as planned unless other agreements have been made beforehand. If the employer was prepared to extend the contract before the pregnancy was announced, then he is violating the General Treatment Act (AGAG). If he refrains from doing so, he is breaching the Equal Treatment Act. If you have private health insurance instead of statutory health insurance, you will continue to receive maternity benefit.
