It is not possible to legally fire an employee for being pregnant, so it might be a good idea to talk to the employee to find out what she wants for her future and the company's future. It may be possible to reassign her tasks so that she is able to continue being productive. You could also suggest that she takes maternity leave as this will mean that she stops working while the company is still able to pay her salary. Aside from that, you could offer her suitable employment that is more suited to her capabilities, or negotiate a settlement agreement. All of these options should be discussed in order to properly address the situation.

You could find a role that she is not suited for and ask her to resign, or place her on a performance improvement plan and set clear goals that she must achieve but give her the reasonable support and time needed. Additionally, if she is eligible for parental leave you could offer her that as an option rather than losing her entirely.
