Just want to check that if theier is any clause in law that a employer can not layoff a pregnent women?


    




V.T.V.RAM
The case is covered under The Maternity Benefits Act, 1961 .
As per this , a pregnant women can be laid off provided she is not deprived of maternity benefit or medical bonus or both she is entitled to.
(Please note that layoff and dismissal are different)

Depends on your state employment laws. in my state people are employed at will and can be fired or layed off for any reason that does not discriminate against them. pregnancy is not a protected reason to keep you employeed.
