Recruitment
By law, pregnant women cannot be deniedwhen hiring due to an "interesting situation" (Article 64 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation). Are you being told, either explicitly or indirectly, that you are not suitable for this very reason? Demand that the refusal be made in writing. Then it can be challenged in court. Unfortunately, if the employer names another reason (more or less suitable), then you will not be able to fight it. Another nuance: pregnant women are not assigned a probationary period when hiring (Article 70 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation). Please note! The employer can cheat and, when hiring you, conclude not an employment contract, but a civil law contract. Be careful: such a contract does not imply social insurance, accordingly, you will not be able to claim guarantees and compensation under the Labor Code. You will not be able to receive maternity benefits, and the employer will not have any restrictions on your dismissal, assignment to overtime work, etc.
