I had joined a company in November 2018. At that time, I was unaware of my pregnancy. My due date is in July. Post-February 2019, I got to know my company does not have any maternity policy, and now in April 2019, I am asked to resign as they cannot afford to either pay me for maternity or allow me to leave without pay. Please suggest.
