I do not agree with this suggestion. When a female employee is entitled to maternity Benefits under the ESI Scheme or under the Maternity Benefit Act, why should she volunteer to forego the same just to please her employer and maybe/maybe not, protect her job.
What the employer can do or cannot do is another matter.
Ideally an employer cannot force an employee to resign. Well, he has the option to terminate the services of an employee if he so chooses to do.
Summary termination has legal implications and the employe may well go to Court. But how many want to exercise this option ???
The main deterent is the fact if an employee takes an employer to Court, he/she jeopardises her future employment prospects.
Many employers take full advantage of such vulnerability of employees.

Yes ! here gaurav is right that any emloyee who works under an employer should have mutual & congenial relationship but if the management asks you to resign shows their attitude towards the employee /employees.
Again even law persists for each & every event that occur but in ideal scenario you need to take up new opportunity and in mean time you continue your discussion (and not arguement) with the management.

Dear anant_us2002in: please let us all know whatever plan of action you have finally reached on.

Dear All,
Like to share my views with all those are working with private business organizations whether smal or MNCs. One can asked any time to resign by asking "your services are no longer required by the company". It's hard to beleive or digest but these things are there & happening anywhere with any pvt. organizations. If you ask the reasons behind, the office will vey well expalin 100 defaults against you; whether any individual serving the comapny for 10 months or 10 years. There is no gain by consulting legal practitioners IF you are in management cadre.
Only thing & advice: trust in yourself and give your 100% performance while serving in pvt organizations. Its pathetic when it happens to any individuals. I am with pvt organizations since last 3 decades & thus sharing views with you.
Bottom line: Life is like that, as after dark there is sun shine always. example: ABRAHAM LINCON.

The answer to the question is the relationship you are having with
the management.
If the relationship is good, then the management will give a consideration
and give certain benefits and also give leave when the occasion arises.
So, the above question does not arise at all.
If however, the relationship is not good, then the above question arises.
In the instant case, there are two aspects
1. Forced to resign - In this case, the terminal benefits can be claimed
and is a decent way of parting with the management.
2. Termination - In this case it is difficult to claim terminal benefits.
The management will put up some case in which the final claim is very
difficult to get.
