I worked at a school for seven years. When I was pregnant for the first time, they gave me unpaid leave. However, they refused leave during my second pregnancy, even though they assured me they would call me back. I left in August 2014, and they cleared my PF in February 2015. I later learned about gratuity and, after arguing, they paid it in August 2015. I was five months pregnant at the time and want my job back. I don’t have an appointment letter, but I have an experience certificate signed by them. They won’t pay gratuity, bonus, or leave encashment, but they did pay my gratuity after I showed them legal papers. Can I do anything to get my job back?

While the school’s actions regarding your maternity leave and subsequent dismissal appear unfair, Indian law doesn’t automatically guarantee you your job back. However, you can explore options like filing a complaint with the labor department or approaching a court, presenting evidence of your employment, your experience certificate, and their past gratuity payment. The outcome depends on the specific circumstances and legal arguments.

My husband, who served as Superintendent of Police in the Pondicherry administration, passed away in July 1996. My son, a well-built young man with a postgraduate degree, applied for a compassionate appointment as per existing rules.

Pondicherry has granted a similar compassionate appointment to another individual. Can anyone advise on how to help my son secure this appointment?

I worked for a small company for three months but I’m not sure if they’re officially registered. The owner only paid me one month’s salary, and it was less than what we agreed on in the contract. I’m still waiting for the remaining two months’ pay. He says he’ll pay me for the second month once he gets paid by a client. He refuses to pay for the third month, claiming there was no business that month. My job was to learn the ropes, not to bring in clients or money. What should I do now?
