Wrongful termination after pregnancy disclosure — is this a labour case or discrimination?

سأله Anonymous·28 أبريل 2026·1 إجابات

I disclosed pregnancy in week 11. Three weeks later I was put on a 'performance improvement plan' that I had never been on before with consistently strong reviews. Two months later I was terminated 'for performance'. Same role was reposted 9 days later. Is this provable in MOHRE or does it need a separate equal-opportunities track?

Both tracks are open. Article 14 of Federal Decree-Law 33 of 2021 explicitly prohibits discrimination on the basis of pregnancy and Article 30 protects against termination during maternity leave. Reposting the same role 9 days later is strong evidence the 'performance' framing was pretextual. File at MOHRE for unfair dismissal (compensation up to 3 months' wages) AND with the Ministry of Human Resources discrimination unit. Preserve the timeline: PIP date, reviews before pregnancy, the reposted job ad screenshot.
