My wife is a SAP consultant and was recently denied her request to work from home due to pregnancy-related health concerns. She's too weak to travel every day and her office is almost an hour away. She had shared a doctor's note with HR that said travel is not advised at least until the 14th week. The company said "It's not their policy to give WFH" for more than two days per month. At the same time, many of their employees have been working from home over the last year and they were permanently working from home for many months. Complicating matters, the company refuses her last month's salary for not serving the 30-day notice period, insisting on her physical presence during this time, which is impossible given her condition.
What step should we take next? She is thinking of quitting her job effective immediately. I want to file a case against them for this mistreatment. After all, her nature of work allows her to work from home. What are the legal provisions available for us? Would it be possible to send a notice after she has tendered her resignation or should she hold on to that for now? She's not planning to go to work anyway.
Please advise. Thank you.
