Harassment by the employer for submitting maternity leave
I told my employer I was pregnant (I have been with the company for nearly 3 years).
My boss told me not to return after the baby is born and also said that I should leave before my maternity leave. I told them it's my right to stay/choose.
Since that day my boss has harassed and bullied me at work. I raised a formal complaint against him.
However, the company are supporting him saying it never happened as they don't want to be liable.
I am now signed off work sick because of the abuse/treatment at work that ended up with me nearly having a miscarriage.
If I resign, I lose my 3 years EOSB, my medical and visa. But if I stay, I am subjected to daily harassment.
What legal rights to do I have?
Dear Questioner,
You should proceed with raising a complaint at the Ministry of Labour or the relevant Free Zone where the company is located.
Prepare all proof of (emails, text messages, pictures) you have that is related to the harassment and the blackmailing about resigning.
Good Luck.
