Dear HR Professionals
I need some inputs from you regarding a curious issue relating to my daughter. She joined one of the premier private airlines in June 2008 as a Cabin Attendant. Her initial posting was in Mumbai for a training programme and them allotted a base station in Hyderabad. Towards the months of June/July/August acute staff shortage forced the airlines to put her on a tough back to back flight schedules that took a toll on her health. As a result she had to take medical treatment and medical leave by submitting proper documents to the Base Manager in Hyderabad. In spite of these the Base was finding faults with her on the documents and the communication she was providing to her employers on her sickness. Ultimately she put in her papers on 19th September 2009 vide email that was received by the Base Manager and forwarded to the HR cell in mumbai. Subsequently the company issued her a termination letter on September 20 2009 signed by the VP - HR that was posted by courier and received 2 days later. My daughter had a signed a service bond by depositing a sum of Rs 50K that was refundable after 3 years. Her contract stated if she leaves during this service bond she would have to either give 3 months notice or 3 months salary and vice versa. My questions
1. Should we file a case against the airline.
2. If so where as she is a permanent resident of Jalandhar.
3. What type of compensation is she entitled to besides her 18 days salary of September 2009.
