Can i get fired for missing work due to pregnancy?
Im in my second trimester and had to take few leaves for scans and bad nausea. My manager hasnt been very understanding and now im a bit scared abt my job security. Has anyone dealt with this at work? Pls share.
Legally you are protected during pregnancy and maternity leave here. If anyone threatens that, keep everything documented and talk to HR formally. Dont let anyone scare you out of your rights.
There are clear maternity protection rules, so being fired purely for pregnancy is not legal. For your specific situation it might help to consult someone who knows labour law. Meanwhile keep all your communication in writing.
I totally understand this fear, juggling work and pregnancy is so stressful. Please dont panic, the law is on your side here. Keep your papers safe and take care of yourself first.
In India you have maternity benefit laws that protect you, they cant fire you just for pregnancy or maternity leave. Keep your medical documents and inform HR properly in writing. Knowing your rights and keeping records is the practical move.
