HOfcourse I asked for maternity leave but not asked a salary for it which was provided by law.
There is no point reaching out to HR or Manager as they all the puppet of MD.
I just need to make a contact with MD which is not easy given at this situation but I am still trying. My pride is at stake here, I have not done a single wrong or illegal thing from my side.
I appreciate your suggestion of compromise and following it but do not agree to rerutn the money. They are liable for my mental distress and harrassment they have caused.
If I go for a fight, they will eventually have to pay more but I don’t want it.
Well, thanks for your constructive feedback and advise. Honestly, I have posted it here to get such responses because right now I am in fight with my pride and conscience.
HFirst thing first, I worked there for an year not six months. I was not pregnant when I joined the job. I told them about my family planning when I joined and they promised me maternity leaves and work from home when required. I left a stable job to join this company because my prevoius employe does not have a WFH policy.Pegnancy can’t be compared to being sick. I am not the one who made maternity benefits act. So comapny should challenge the goverment for this unethical law. The law says: If a women work for more than 80 days in a company then she is eligible for maternity benefits which is 26 weeks paid leave.
I was not aware about this law and never demanded salary from them for the period when I was on leave. I just complained when they hold my salary for the month which I have worked. The labour commission directed them to pay my maternity benefits when they got to know all the facts.
I was mentally tortured and pressurized to resgin when I was 8 months pregnant. I would have resigned but they tried acting so smart and put me in a very bad light in front of everyone in the office. I never filed any complaint when my dues were paid.
Now company has to filed a false defamation case against me with false evidences and made up witnesses.
Where do you see two wrongs here?
I was and I am always ready to apologise but there is no one to hear or accept my apologies.
Who has the ego here?
HTotally agree with your point. Morally, I am not in favour of free facilities for women.But, here I didn’t demand anything. Honestly, before the performance review started, I was thinking to talk to my seniors and ask them to give me unpaid leaves or work from home untill I come back from maternity leaves. My understanding was pretty clear that company provides unpaid leaves only.
I was ready to work from home without salary as I didn’t want to lose the reputations with my clients. I am in sales job and it is important to retain connections with clients. All I wanted to get my job back when I return.
Before I could discuss it with them, they started forcing me to resign.
I was the senior member of the team and had better performance than my male counterparts. Obviously ups and downs were there.
HSir, I filed complaints for three reasons:1. To get the salary for the month which I have worked. They were not paying it.
2. I was harrased mentally by the seniors for my performance unnecessarily. I have been working there for an year but I never saw such harrassment of any employee. I was not the lowest performer in my team, in fact my performance was above average always.
3. I was forced to put my resign. That was in a harsh tone. Just 1 month before I declared my pregnency, I was their favourite employee.
Please suggest if you see anything illegal or unethical if I exercised my right to complaint against the above things.
Also, I am feeling pain because they filed a completely false case and not fighting with the truth. I am feeling pain because I have to take my lactating baby girl to court for hearings. There is no place to feed my kid there but I use canteens or washrooms to breastfeed my child.
HI also thought all these laws are my side when I asked ChatGPT.In reality, I saw a different side of court. I am the one who has to pay for the bail. I have to pay lawyers fees. I have to travel to court on every hearing with my child who is still on breastfeed. Court works at their pace, they are not as fast as AI.
HExactly I was doing the same. Then one day I got call from police station that a case is filed against me.I never knew that if I file a simple complaint for my salary would backfire this way.
HHey, I have not filed any case against company. They filed a fake case against me in the court.I have just complained to authority when they did not pay my salary when I was 8 month pregnant. I don’t want to fight and need nothing from them.
Case is filed by them and I am facing defamation charges. I am already concerned about my child.
They are not interested to resolve the case outside court becauase they want to drag me to the court and harrass me.
HYes, I said they paid me after I filed complaint in labour commission office.Yes, they deducted 10K for phone and phone is still in my possession.
They fired me after my maternity period was over. I got terminantion letter on email and I never reacted after that. I accepted my fate already started searching for a new job.
I am an accused in defamation case and facing trial. I feel if I name them now, it will only make their case stronger. They don’t have any documentry proof of defamation right now. They are just making stories. If I try to name and shame them, it will give weightage to their argument. That’s what I am suggested.
I have presented every fact with honesty and would like to clear every doubt or inconsistencies you are seeing here. This is important for me as the opponent lawyer will also try to find out such loopholes. I’d appreciate if you could point out where do you see an inconsistency in my case or version.
I never demmanded 6 months salary. In fact, company HR has already told me during my joining that they don’t pay during maternity leaves but they give unpaid leaves for 6 months. I agreed to that and signed on agreement. It was the labour commission office who directed them to pay 6 months salary. I didn’t file any case on them for more money. All the complaints were filed before they started paying me.
My husband is supporting me and doing his best he could. But he is the only earning member of family right now and he is already keeping is job at stake.

HYes, your point is fair and it is a pretty straightforward case of retaliation and filed with the intention of harassment. Proving defamation is not an easy thing as there is no documentary evidence available. They all are weak evidence and clearly testifying under pressure.Still, the Hon’ble judge has initiated a trial against me on the basis of these witnesses. Now I am on bail without any crime. No relief for me being a mother of a newborn. This is the story so far.
HI told that verbally to police officer to ask them for cctv footage for the day. I don’t have a written record of that. Police asked them for footage but they never provided it. They came up with big false stories.HI never alleged sexual harrassment but mentioned that I was mentally harrassed. But their fake story made me regret on my honesty. I should have done that in my complaint.They are alleging that company property is stolen but then said to Police that they don’t want it back because they have dedcuted 10K for that.
HI am considering this option but I don’t want to involve so many people and don’t want to get famous for this issue.HThe company management have ego issues. First time they were compelled to pay maternity benefits to a women. They are angry because of that. Earlier, they simpally terminate the female employees who got pregnant.I don’t think they will agree for mediation. Police tried to do mediation but they denied to meet me. I have done nothing and I have nothing to give them.
How mediation can help when sole purpose of the complaintant is to harrass someone?
