I recently returned to work after maternity leave, but my company is terminating me. They’re only paying me for the few days I worked after returning in July. I took leave from January 1st to March 31st, followed by unpaid leave from April 1st to June 30th. What are my legal rights in this situation, and how can I fight for fair compensation?

Under Indian law, your employer cannot terminate you without a valid reason and must pay you for the entire period of your employment, including your maternity leave. You have the right to fight this termination and claim compensation for unpaid wages and other benefits. You should consult an employment lawyer to discuss your specific case and legal options.

I recently submitted my resignation, but my employment hasn’t ended yet. The company just announced a pay raise, but they’re saying those who resigned won’t get the back pay. Is this fair? I’m entitled to that money because it’s for my past work, not a new benefit.

My branch head harassed me, and I filed a complaint. The company won’t let me back in the office, and there’s no progress. Now he’s leaving the country, and I’m worried he’ll return to the office. The HR committee hasn’t resolved anything, and the situation is getting worse. I’m unsure if I should return to work, resign, or risk being fired. What should I do to protect myself and my job?

My father, a headmaster in a government ashram school, passed away in 2005. We applied for compassionate appointment, and my brother was appointed as an untrained primary teacher in the same department in 2006. He completed his Shikshan Sevak training in 2009 and requested a permanent appointment in 2010. However, the Tribal Department in Thane informed us that compassionate appointments were only granted to Class 3 and Class 4 employees. Since my father was a Class 2 officer, they revoked my brother’s appointment.

I’m worried, I was a manager at a company that shut down. The landlord had an agreement with the owner which expired, and there are unpaid rent bills. Now, the landlord is sending notices to my home, even though I was just an employee and haven’t been paid for months. I feel unfairly targeted and harassed. I’m jobless and now getting legal notices. I’m stressed and don’t understand why I’m being served. Should I respond? What should I do? Please help!
