Can a woman raising a child alone be laid off?
Share
The general rule is that a woman who is raising a child alone may not be dismissed or laid off. This applies to situations where a woman:
● She is raising a child under the age of 14;
● She is raising a child with a disability;
● She has children under 3 years old;
● Is on unpaid leave to care for a child under 6 years of age.
The exception is in cases of complete liquidation of the enterprise, when the employer is obliged to employ such a woman at another workplace.
