Dear Sir/ Ma'am,
I am working with an MNC for the last 22 months. My work schedule was very hectic i.e. I was made to work even on holidays like saturday, few sundays, gazzetted holidays, apart from normal working days for a strech of more than 14 hours per day. Even after reaching home i was forced to answer work related calls. Due to all the stress etc I suffered a HEART ATTACK. Though my company paid for my treatment I still want to know if I can claim Compesation. I had given all the proofs to the concerned authourities which proves that I was being harrassed for long. Also i had given proofs of the illegal activities done by my superiors. But no action was taken. I am 30 years, kindly suggest future course of action for me & please make me aware of my rights. I have been the best performer through out at my work but financial recognition has been zero. my bosses have harressed me mentally, physically, emotionally & financially. I am married & have a 3 yrs daughter, but lost both my parents when I was 10 yrs old & I have no sibling. Kindly guide as per labour laws applicable.

Unfortunately there is no Law in India helping you in the given facts and desire. Employment opportunities availed in such a way just for dollars, creates such type of situation within years. You can awake young generations of India who is mad behind MNCs and their dollar but after some years when they have to reach the situation like you then there remains no solution but to repent and wait for last moments.

Yes, there are no Laws in the indian context.
well as the way things are developing in our country with respect to MNC work culture and exploitation,there is need for such laws.
