Clear, practical advice for Alberta employees facing workplace questions or challenges.

Termination and Maternity Leave

In Alberta, employees are protected from being terminated or penalized because they are pregnant or taking maternity or parental leave. Under the Employment Standards Code and the Alberta Human Rights Act, employers must allow employees to take unpaid job-protected leave for pregnancy, childbirth, and the care of a new child, and they must reinstate the employee to the same or a comparable position when the leave ends.

If an employee is dismissed before, during, or after maternity leave, and the decision is linked to the leave or pregnancy, it may amount to discrimination or wrongful dismissal. At Lypkie Henderson, we represent employees who have been terminated or treated unfairly before, during, or after maternity leave. Our employment lawyers can determine whether your dismissal was discriminatory, negotiate fair compensation, and guide you through the human rights or wrongful dismissal process.

If you’ve lost your job or faced retaliation related to pregnancy or parental leave, contact us to learn your rights and find out how we can help protect your career and your family’s security.
