Demande directe (CEACR) - adoptée 1993, publiée 80ème session CIT (1993)

Convention (n° 103) sur la protection de la maternité (révisée), 1952 - Pologne (Ratification: 1976)

Article 6 of the Convention. The Committee notes the information supplied by the Government in reply to its previous comments. It notes in particular that the question of the termination of a woman worker's contract of employment during her pregnancy or maternity leave is considered by the Committee for the Labour Law Reform functioning at the Ministry of Labour and Social Policy. In this connection the Committee once again draws the Government's attention to the need to amend section 177, paragraph 1, of the Labour Code in order to ensure its full conformity with this provision of the Convention, which prohibits giving notice of dismissal to a woman while absent from work on maternity leave, or at such a time that the notice would expire during such absence. The Committee hopes that the next report of the Government will contain information on the progress made in this respect.
