Catalogue question 104 · Question catalogue in force since 2024-07-01
A woman in Germany loses her job. What must not be the reason for this dismissal?
- The woman has been ill and unable to work for a long time.
- The woman often arrived late for work.
- The woman does private things during working hours.
- The woman is having a baby and her employer knows it. Correct
Why — for every option
- A — Long-term illness can, under certain circumstances, constitute grounds for dismissal, so it is not automatically excluded under employment law — unlike pregnancy.
- B — Repeated lateness can be a permissible, conduct-related reason for dismissal.
- C — Attending to private matters during working hours can be a permissible reason for dismissal.
- D — Correct: under § 17 of the Maternity Protection Act, special protection against dismissal applies during pregnancy and up to four months after giving birth — a dismissal because of pregnancy is void.
