I've been let go during my probation period

The probation period must be agreed in writing and has a limit; during it either side can end the relationship, but never because of pregnancy.

How long it can last

Without a collective agreement, six months for qualified technicians and two months for everyone else.

«En defecto de pacto en convenio, la duración del periodo de prueba no podrá exceder de seis meses para los técnicos titulados, ni de dos meses para los demás trabajadores.»

Your rights

The same as the rest of the staff, except in how it can end.

«Durante el periodo de prueba, la persona trabajadora tendrá los derechos y obligaciones correspondientes al puesto de trabajo que desempeñe como si fuera de plantilla»

Never for pregnancy

The company's decision is void if it is because of pregnancy.

«La resolución a instancia empresarial será nula en el caso de las trabajadoras por razón de embarazo»
