An employee’s pregnancy should be determined by a medical certificate. The employer is obliged to give pregnant employees exemptions from work for medical examinations prescribed by a doctor in connection with her pregnancy, if they may not be carried out outside working hours. The employee retains her right to remuneration for her absences from work for that reason.

Pregnant and breastfeeding women must not carry out work which is onerous, hazardous or harmful to health, which may adversely affect their health, pregnancy or breastfeeding.

Pregnant employees unconditionally must not be employed:

• overtime,
• at night.

Pregnant employees must not be, without their consent:

• posted outside their permanent place of work,
• employed in an intermittent working time system.
