A woman's work schedule during pregnancy should be completely reviewed. For this purpose, Russian legislation has introduced standards for employers, which are contained in Article 259 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation. The act spells out certain guarantees for pregnant employees of enterprises and offices. Before planning the birth of a child, it is recommended to familiarize yourself with the rights and features of subsequent work activity.

Do I need to confirm pregnancy and when?

Before we tell you what guarantees are provided to working pregnant women, let us clarify: not a single law specifies the period for notifying superiors about pregnancy. Judicial practice shows that even if the employer did not know that the employee was planning to become a mother, this does not relieve him of responsibility for violating the norms of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation (clause 25 of the Resolution of the Plenum of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation dated January 28, 2014 No. 1).

Since not only employers, but employees themselves are interested in providing benefits, we recommend explaining to the female part of the team how and when pregnancy is confirmed.
