My wife is working in a MNC and was on maternity leave till last month. Now she wants to extend her leave by going on LOP because my kid is still on feed and have been advice by the Dr. for the same for next months. She is at my native right now, but her office is in Bangalore.
Regarding LOP her manager as well HR are not allowing her to go on LOP citing the resource crunch issue, even after having a medical reason she is not allowed for LOP.
Now she don't have any option but to resign for the company and want relieving ASAP as my kid can't be kept without feed from mother and she can't carry kid to office. She is not even allowing her Work From Home.
And when she proposed that she will resign they are saying either she have to serve notice period or pay for it. Not only this she will not get the bonus she was entitled for at the end of financial year even after working for almost 9 months during her maternity. Apart from this she have pay extra for the air/train tickets as those have to booked in emergency.
She is not only getting mentally frustrated but also monetarily. She doesn't want to leave organization but being forced to due to lack of support both from HR as well as reporting manager.
Please suggest the steps we can take.
Note: we have produced the medical certificate provided by Dr. where he have suggested that baby have to be fed on mother milk for six months
