U muz accomp her go and do a test fst, see if it is really your child (be aware some women will tell lies); If it is really yours, well, comgratulations, better get married as soon as possible. Are u married or is she married? If either of u are, then u are screwed up..
If neither of u is planning to divorce, the last choice is to get her aborted.. What other choices u have anyway? U cannot kill her right? If u sack her, she can go to court and claim that u have raped her, u don't want end her lossing your career and family right?

Legally, you can't! You have to wait until the baby is born and she comes back to work. And you have to keep her job for her until she returns!

Legally ....... you cant fire her,just because she is pregnant. Whats wrong with you any way?What if someone would have fired your mother when she was pregnant with you?You are a sick man to even want to do something like that.There must be something else behind your wanting to fire her,why don't you stand up and be a MAN and tell this person what you want to do ? just maybe she will be a smart person and start looking for another job with someone who has a caring heart . Are you married?Do you have a daughter?how would you fell if someone would do this to your daughter?

Immediately & and make it quick before it shows..!

You can not sack her for being pregnant ... she could sue you for unfair dismissal ..... and you have to keep her job open for her as well ... but she will have to inform you at least a month before she is due to return to work that she is coming back or not

I hope she takes you to an Industrial Tribunal - they would soon put the smart comments out of you.


kevin ? gent
you can't legally sack her
and you must give her maternity leave with pay for up to a year
almost 100 p/c sure


themelon
if she isn't married them immediately. if she is you have to wait 2 weeks


itsjustme
You can't...that is called discrimination. It's just the same as firing someone b/c they are black, white, asian, medically disabled, or were in acar accident and broke their arm. You can't fire a woman b/c she got pregnant.

What an idiot.

In the United States, one cannot get fired for getting pregnant. In fact, any business with 25 employees or more, should have a pregnacy clause/info. in its manual.


diamondprincezz456
u cant fire her if shes pregnant... well u can but u can also be sued!! so hey if thats what u want then fire her right this damn minute!

You cannot fire her as a result of her pregnancy. IF her work becomes sub-par but is not related to her pregnancy you can sack her.

The fact of the matter is though, all aspects of her life are now directly related to her pregnancy.

Kei ,
You can't legally sack her just because she is pregnant.(Are you out of your mind? Do you think just because of her pregnancy that she no longer is intelligent? You sound like a male chauvinist.)

Legally.....you can't fire her for being pregnant. She can, however, take you to court if she even has a remote clue that is why she was fired. Why fire her in the first place? She really will need a job now. She has a child to take care of.

That would be discrimination. Your hands are tied mate.

If you lived in a free country, you could have sacked her immediately. The fact that you cannot do that means that government has intruded far beyond what they should have. In a logical world, it would be recognized that the employer owns the job, not the employee, and that the employee is employed at the whim of the employer.

All this intrusion into the private contract between employer and employed means you've sunk deep into socialism. Just be glad you don't have the French socialist 'job-for-life' employment regime.


SuperGirls™
you should fire her whenever you want, and then she would take you to court, where she would sue your dumb AZZ for discrimination, and she would end up with all your money:)
I can't wait for this story on court tv!

You can't! Laws protect expecting women. She could continue to work for you up to the day she delivers. Then she has (by law) maternity time. If she doesn't want to return by the time that term is up, you can then "sack her"...but shame on you for thinking that way!!! She's only pregnant - it's not like she's diseased or something!


MISSY
I guess you could sack her any time, but you will need a good reason. Getting pregnant is NOT a good enough excuse.


❂Sun_Is_Shining❂
Aren't you the sweetest employer on record! Go ahead, do it now and she can swipe back at you with a lawsuit. Your little empire will crumble. All those years of loyal service and this is your reward. Oh well, who said the world of business was fair anyway......
P.S. If it's your child, I would promote her as fast as possible.

since you are not serious and you are just asking questions, go ahead and kick that *** to the curb. and hire you one of those women that you can blow up.

You cannot sack her solely because she's pregnant. You'll get your pants sued off you.

why would u sack her?have pity on her. also u must have ground to sack her and prenancy is not one of them.she has d right to have maternity leave


oohbetty
How low can you go? If your poor mother didn't give birth to you you, you wouldn't exist. Have some respect for mothers for god's sake! Sack her now because you deserve to be sued. I hate people like you who act like god messing with people's lives for their own gain. P.S. You obviously want the world to be dominated by men - are you bitter because she rejected you or something? Are you that ugly? lol
