When a Company Doesn't Allow The Woman Employee to Get Pregnant

In our office we don't have that agreement . However , we have a casual period of 6 months and a probationary period of 6 months . With these respective contracts , the married woman tries not to get pregnant until she knows that she will be a regular employee already once she passed the probationary period .

Oh wow, that really is unfair. Well, it is fair for the companies and back when my mum was pregnant she had to quit her job for staying at home with me. That was 30 years ago. Now we do have better and far more "social" laws in Germany. And not enough children *lol* Anyway, this kind of contract would not be possible here. I am really interested in reading what other members from other countries are writing about this

I am surprised to hear about this type of terms and conditions for female employees. I think it is discriminatory and unfair. Once a female employee gets a job, she may marry after few months and there is every possibility of getting pregnant after marriage, so it seems ridiculous terms and condition to me. If she happens to join such a company and signs such a contract, she will remain under immense pressure not to get married (if she is unmarried) or not to get pregnant (if she is already married). I am not sure if Indonesian Government could do something about it, if someone raises her concerns about this kind discrimination. In India as far as Government sector is concerned, rules about female employees are very favourable. If she joins Government service say today and next day she wants to avail maternity leave for 180 days, she will be granted leave with all the benefits. I have not heard any such condition in private sector companies in India. I doubt if any private company insist on signing a contract/agreement about getting pregnant in the initial years of service. However, a female employee needs to choose between her career and married life/family herself. If she want to remain in the private company, she may avoid getting pregnant till her employee confirms her in the job.

Since I live in Indonesia too, I am not surprise with the rule Maybe it is better for moms to stay at home and take care their kids first Later she can work or open a business

As long as an organisation does not break rules pertaining in that country sadly they do impose such rules. It is left for women to opt out of taking jobs in such firms.

hi redva, I never had a regular job and I don't want to if ever I think it's unfair to have that kind of policy in a company having a child is a gift and not all women can bear a child I am not sure if in our country a company has a policy like that happy mylotting

There is no rule like that in my country (USA). It is against the law to fire a woman because she got pregnant.

When I first read your title, I just think it's ridiculous! I haven't read or hear any rules about this in my country, Malaysia. I As as @rusty2rusty, I think it's against the law to fire a woman because she's pregnant. But, I am not sure if a contract like this is acceptable. Whether or not I am married, I don't think I'll accept this contract, as I think it's against the human rights.

That really sucks. The company should have no say over when (or if) a woman can get pregnant. It's none of their business.
