You do not have to disclose your pregnancy when applying for a job. When recruiting or interviewing, the employer may not require any information relating to the privacy of the person seeking employment, which is not related to the suitability of the job offered. If the employer requires this information, he or she violates the prohibition set out in the Employment Contracts Act. It is also prohibited by the Gender Equality Act.
If you did not find an answer to your concern, you may contact the Estonian Commissioner for Gender Equality and Equal Treatment in a free format by sending an email to avaldus@volinik.ee. When contacting the Commissioner, the identity of the person shall not be disclosed and, upon request, anonymity shall be guaranteed.
