Terminated while being 5 months pregnant citing bad performance
08-Jun-2023 (In Civil Law)
I have been working with this company from 12th June 2017. I was put on a performance review on 24th April 2019. I informed by boss about my pregnancy verbally in April and she immediately said (verbally) but we are putting you on performance review of 3 months. I protested that I am pregnant and it will put me into stress but I was instead put through long sessions with my manager, AVP-HR and department head and forced to accept the review. My review began on 24th April and I was asked to resign on 15th May verbally. When I refused I was forced to sign my termination letter on 4th June. When I said the review was supposed to be of 3 months they said no, it was a wrong assumption we can cut it short also. What are the options for me now.
Query perused. I would advise you to issue a legal notice to the directors of the company for illegal termination to avoid the liability to pay the maternity benefits through a lawyer. Further a Law suit declaring the termination as null and void can be filed. For further consultancy and legal services you may contact us.

Hi
You shall send them a legal notice asking them to reinstate you as an employee or else they shall be liable for the legal consequences.
You can file a suit for wrongful termination of contract and also sue them for harassment.
But first i would advice you to send a legal notice consisting all your averments.
