Re: Force to change religion

Why are you on leave?This will be negative to you and shall be against you.Firstly resume your job.During probation management can terminate you and this particular act on your part will provide reason to management to terminate your service.Donot depend on ay person that he shall give evidence in your support.No case of compensation is made out.You may politly refuse the persuation of manager to accept christian religion.lodge your complaint with higher management and if necessity arise then approach the court.In case of need you may contact with all details.Professional charges are applicable.
