Arbitrary dismissal of a pregnant woman in the time of COVID-19
Please help me with the below scenario.
I had worked with a company for 2 years and 11 months. I was terminated on the basis of redundancy on 2nd March 2020. They gave me one month notice period which ended on the 31st of March 2020.
I completed the notice period and I do understand the situation due to pandemic. But in my situation also, my company knows that I am pregnant and it is very difficult to face this kind of situation.
I just want to know what shall I do and what are the benefits that I can get from my company. Please I need your advise and help to solve this. I will deliver by next month and hope to be in good health.
Thank you and hope someone will answer my concerns and will not stress my self in this situation.

As long as you are dismissed without a legal reason, you are entitled to compensation for the arbitrary dismissal in addition to the end of service gratuity for each year 21 days, and the leave allowance, if any.
