Instead of:Article 113: A pregnant woman whose state has been the subject of a medical assessment may break her contract without notice and without having to pay any kind of compensation. This rupture cannot, in any case, result in damages.

However, the pregnant woman must notify the employer of her state one month before the rupture or likely termination of the pregnancy contract.

Every pregnant woman is entitled to maternity leave, which necessarily begins eight weeks before the alleged date of delivery and ends six weeks after the date of delivery.

The suspension period may be extended by three weeks in case of illness duly observed by a doctor resulting from pregnancy or diapers.

When delivery takes place before the presumed date, the rest period is extended until the completion of the fourteen weeks to which the employee is entitled.

When delivery takes place after the presumed date, the woman resumes her work only after six weeks after delivery.
She was entitled during the period of the said leave, to the full salary she received at the time of the suspension of work. The payment of this allowance will be made by the Social Protection Organization for half and by half by the employer in accordance with the terms in force.
It retains the right to free care and benefits in kind.
