Re: sacked while on maternity leave

Your remedy may depend upon the contract of employment. If you are covered within the definition of a 'workan' under the Industrial Disputes Act, you may be entitled to remedies under labour laws and may seek reinstatement with full back wages. You may need to contact a local lawyer for appropriate opinion based on your documents.
