Refused employment due to pregnancy.

Hi

I've app**** for an vacancy end April 2021. I was informed started date the 03 May 2021 if successful.

My first interview was done the Monday Prior. Then second interview on Human Rights day and 3de interview was completed the following day.

The same week Friday I was requested all qualifications, other vetting and legal documents.

Part of those documents I was requested to advised about my pregnancy which I completed honestly.

After that I've Recieved no correspondence. I had to email every second day to receive an update and but informed that they are still busy with applications.

Yesterday I was advised the same thing and today just got an automatic email stating my application was unsuccessful with now reasoning.

This is clear to me that I was being discriminated due to my pregnancy.

The Pregnancy ************** Act of 1978 covers pregnancy-specific **************. That includes pregnancy, childbirth, and its related conditions. Specifically, the Act says that an employer can't refuse to hire a pregnant woman as long as she can perform the “major functions” of her job.03 Dec 2019
