(3) To discharge or refuse the admission of such woman upon returning to her work for fear that she may again be pregnant.
----------------------------------------------
Some employers terminate their employees because they are pregnant because they believe this could affect working efficiency. Other employers dismiss their workers just for the purpose of depriving them of the benefits provided by law.
These are considered acts of discrimination and are criminally punishable under the Labor Code.
