Généré par l'IA

The employer terminated an employee on May 10, 1976, despite her medically confirmed pregnancy, and though they attempted to retract the dismissal five days later, the appellate court upheld the nullity of the May 10th termination pursuant to labor code provisions protecting pregnant employees. The court reasoned that the employer failed to prove either gross misconduct by the employee or an impossibility of maintaining the contract for reasons unrelated to the pregnancy, correctly applying the law which mandated nullity and allowed for the accumulation of sanctions, including payment of lost wages for the nullity period and damages for abusive termination, irrespective of whether the employee worked during that time or the employer's subsequent attempt to withdraw the notice.
