Your subordinate is pregnant out of wedlock and needs to take maternity leave. What should you do?

Either terminate the contract or grant leave. Although others are pregnant out of wedlock, we cannot let others have abortions. There are several ways to terminate a contract, but this plan must be proposed by the other party, otherwise if there is a contract, you will be the breaching party. However, I personally feel that this would inevitably be cruel, so I personally do not recommend this solution. So take a break and be a humanitarian. Pregnancy leave is actually reasonable and legal, so there is no need to worry about it. You don't need to pay her a salary during pregnancy leave, it's like she's just staying at home without pay.

In fact, it is relatively normal to take maternity leave. Very few pregnant women go to work with a pregnant belly. The company's consideration is nothing more than who will take over her job while she is on leave, and how to arrange her work when she comes back. This can actually be solved as long as both parties discuss it well. You can let her wait for a while, and you and she can find someone who can take over her position as soon as possible, so that it will not affect the operation of the company. After the replacement work is arranged, you need to discuss her wishes with her. If she resigns directly, then let her resign.

If you still want to work in the company after giving birth to your child. You need to tell her that when she comes back, the position may not be the same position. After all, you have someone take over, so you can't let someone else leave just because you came. Usually, the company will say that they hope she can comply with any arrangements made by the company. If the company still has her previous position vacant at that time, she can try it. Of course, if she can handle the period of her absence, her position will be replaced and it can operate normally. Then she comes back and the situation is still the same, so as a manager you won't have to worry about it.

This is also a reflection of her own ability. As a leader, she cannot only look at immediate interests. After all, you are leading a group of people, so there is no need to be so harsh and cruel to your subordinates.
