I'm being dismissed while pregnant or on birth leave

Dismissal during leave for birth, and in other protected situations, is void unless a reason unrelated to that situation is proven.

Void dismissal

If it is discriminatory or breaches fundamental rights, the dismissal is void.

«Será nulo el despido que tenga por móvil alguna de las causas de discriminación prohibidas en la Constitución Española o en la ley»

During birth leave

Dismissal during the suspension of the contract for birth, adoption and other cases is also void.
