Resign without notice, a right for pregnant women

Resign without notice during her pregnancy. It's possible ?

Normally, an employee who takes the party to unilaterally terminate his employment contract. Must respect a legal notice period. This to allow his employer to organize his replacement. In most cases, a period of one month is provided for non-managers. For an executive, the period is often extended to three months.

You have just learned of the happy event. You are firmly determined to change boxes. Incomprehensible planning, unpaid overtime, canceled vacation. A disastrous situation that affects you morally.

Article L1225-34 of the Labor Code specifies that an employee in a state of apparent pregnancy and medically certified. Has the right to resign without notice. A departure with immediate effect. If you make that choice. You will not have any compensation for termination of the employment contract to pay your employer.

However, be aware that this will be a departure without return. In the event that it is impossible to do otherwise. You would be ready to take your place. Instead, wait until you are on maternity leave. This will allow you to have priority for 12 months for rehiring. You can only benefit from this device if you leave during your pregnancy. It's up to you to weigh the pros and cons.

Sample letter to quit without notice during your pregnancy.

Nothing in the law imposes you, when you have a medical certificate which proves it. To use a special method to quit when you are pregnant. You could be happy with just a phone call. But to avoid any dispute. I advise you to use a letter with acknowledgment of receipt. You will benefit from sending this mail. To request payment of your balance on any account, as well as a work certificate accompanied by a Pôle Emploi certificate. It is possible that we do not appreciate your approach and that we ask you to come and get them. Your employer is not obligated to send them to you.

Mr. Director of Human Resources,

It is with sadness that I announce my decision to resign without notice. After 15 years in our group. A time of my life that will leave me with good memories.

Despite everything, I have just learned and I suspect that I am pregnant. I had my doctor establish a medical certificate of apparent pregnancy. Document that I would find you attached.

As you know, I am not required to respect any notice period. My situation allows me to leave my post immediately.

This will allow me now to devote myself to a certain number of adjustments in my personal life.

Thank you in advance for sending me as soon as possible. All documents relating to the termination of my employment contract.

Wishing you an excellent day, please accept Sir, the expression of my respectful consideration.
