A pregnant employee may be temporarily assigned to another job, on her own initiative or that of the employer, if her medically certified state of health so requires.
In the event of disagreement between the employer and the employee or where the change is made at the employer’s initiative, only the occupational physician may establish the medical necessity of the change of job and the employee’s fitness to occupy the new job envisaged.
Assignment to another establishment is subject to the employee’s agreement.
The temporary assignment may not exceed the duration of the pregnancy and ends as soon as the woman’s state of health allows her to return to her original job.
The change of assignment does not entail any reduction in pay.
