Article L1225-4-3 of the French Labour Code

No employer may terminate an employee’s employment contract during the ten weeks following a medically certified spontaneous termination of pregnancy between the fourteenth and the twenty-first week of amenorrhoea inclusive.

However, the employer may terminate the contract if he can prove that the employee is guilty of serious misconduct or that he is unable to continue the contract for a reason unrelated to the spontaneous termination of pregnancy.

Article L1225-4-3

Aucun employeur ne peut rompre le contrat de travail d’une salariée pendant les dix semaines suivant une interruption spontanée de grossesse médicalement constatée ayant eu lieu entre la quatorzième et la vingt et unième semaine d’aménorrhée incluses.

Toutefois, l’employeur peut rompre le contrat s’il justifie d’une faute grave de l’intéressée ou de son impossibilité de maintenir ce contrat pour un motif étranger à l’interruption spontanée de grossesse.
