I am 5 months pregnant and currently on probation on my new job. I just received a letter from my employer that I am terminated and they will not be confirming me. They gave reasons that I did not meet up to expectations. What should I do? Can I still claim for my maternity benefits?

The maternity protection will apply to the employee as long as she has served her employer for at least 3 continuous months. If your employer terminates your employment without sufficient cause while you are pregnant, or retrenches you during your pregnancy, they must pay the maternity benefits you would have been eligible for. If your employer did not confirm your probation with reason that you did not meet expectation. You can report to MOM and request your employer to provide proof to support their assessment. http://www.mom.gov.sg/faq/maternity-leave/if-the-contractual-probation-period-is-longer-than-the-3-months-minimum-qualifying-period-will-the-employee-enjoy-maternity-protection

You can only claim maternity benefits if you have worked for your employer for at least 3 continuous months. Therefore, in this case, you are not eligible. http://www.mom.gov.sg/faq/maternity-leave/can-an-employer-dismiss-a-pregnant-employee-from-her-job

I am sorry to hear about your situation. Since you did not pass your probation, you are unable to enjoy maternity benefits (4 months leave) as you are no longer their employee.

Yes you can claim your maternity benefit but it won't be given to you in advance.

Hi Jamie, my probation is 3 months. I have worked for 3 months. Am I eligible?

You need to be with the company for at least a period of 2 months.

how long have you been in this job? Have u reached 90days?

thanks
