Work Challenges and Maternity Concerns
I am working in an MNC organization in the sales back end for nearly 10 years. I have one child who is 2 years old. Due to the baby, I am not able to go to the office on time, so I have received a memo for late coming. Additionally, our godown was shifted to Bangalore, so billing stopped from my side. I only have booking access. Last year, I did not get my increment. The company did not provide a reason; it was informed indirectly that all processes have started from Bangalore. Last month, the end booking also stopped, and the information was given by BH verbally. Until now, I have not received any mail or paper from HR.
Within a day, I sent an email to HR informing them that I am pregnant with my second child, and the delivery date is given as 28.08.2018. I confirmed if I am eligible for ESI, and they replied that I can avail ESI benefits and need to provide my documents, such as the ESIC card, for attendance purposes.
Concerns About Job Security During Maternity Leave
I want to know if this month I don't have work, and next month, at the end, I have my delivery. In between, will any action be taken, like termination, because I have six months of leave eligibility and can avail the benefits from ESI only if I am in the job. I want to know if there is any option for termination or if they will wait until my rejoining (it is a corporate company with three to four companies under it). Please advise.

Madam,
Don't worry. They won't terminate your services while you are on maternity leave. After you report back for duty, they will evaluate the requirements and make a decision. However, you are covered under ESI, and your benefits will be provided through ESI.
