Hi ,
My wife joined a new job as school teacher and she is in probation period. She had informed her HR about her pregnancy 1 month back and today she has been asked to resign.
HR has mentioned that her performance is not good and has tried to convince her that anyway she will be going for Maternity leave so better resign now and join back once she is ready.
Am wondering , if her performance is not good then after delivering baby how come she will become a good teacher.
It's very clear that she has been asked to resign due to her pregnancy. No performance feedback has been given to her before.
On enquiring we came to know that it's common for female during probation period.
At this stage , i don't think we will put stress on her. But i wanted to know is this legal ?
Can employer ask for resignation from employer during pregancy on the ground of performance without any proper evaluation ?
Thanks
