Judgment in Case C-284/23 Haus Jacobus
(Social policy)
An employee of a care home challenged her dismissal before the German Federal Labour Court, claiming it is prohibited to dismiss a pregnant woman. The Labour Court ruled that it should normally have dismissed the claim as untimely.
In fact, when the employee became aware of her pregnancy and lodged the appeal, the three-week period following written notification of dismissal, provided for under German law, had already expired. In addition, the employee failed to lodge an application for admission of the late appeal within a further two-week period.
The Labour Court wondered, however, whether the German rules at issue were compatible with the relevant EU law (Council Directive 92/85/EEC) on the introduction of measures to encourage improvements in the safety and health at work of pregnant workers and workers who have recently given birth or are breastfeeding).
Therefore, the German Federal Labour Court referred the matter to the Court of Justice for guidance.

Urteil des Gerichtshofs in der Rechtssache C‑284/23 Haus Jacobus
Schutz vor Kündigung während Schwangerschaft
Eine Pflegehelferin des Alten- und Altenpflegeheims Haus Jacobus wehrt sich vor dem Arbeitsgericht Mainz gegen ihre Kündigung. Zum Zeitpunkt der Kündigung war sie schwanger, was aber erst einen Monat später festgestellt wurde. Nach dem Mutterschutzgesetz ist es unzulässig, einer Schwangeren zu kündigen. Dies muss die Schwangere jedoch gemäß dem Kündigungsschutzgesetz innerhalb von drei Wochen nach Zugang der schriftlichen Kündigung gerichtlich geltend machen. Erfährt eine Frau erst nach Ablauf dieser Frist von ihrer Schwangerschaft, kann sie binnen zwei Wochen einen Antrag auf nachträgliche Zulassung der Klage stellen.
Da die Betroffene beide Fristen versäumt hat, müsste das Arbeitsgericht die Klage eigentlich ohne weiteres abweisen. Es hat jedoch Zweifel, dass diese Fristen mit der Richtlinie über schwangere Arbeitnehmerinnen vereinbar sind, und hat daher den Gerichtshof dazu befragt. Ohne Schlussanträge.
