Hello All,
Recently, my company has handed me a GAR (Grievance Action Report) stating I'm not performing well, which means they have given me 15 days to improve myself. I had already informed my L1 and L2 about my pregnancy 2 months back, and since then, they have been questioning my capabilities. When they handed me the GAR, I denied accepting it and provided my explanation to them via email. After my explanation, they revised the GAR the next day, handed me the same document, but asked me to wait before signing as they needed confirmation from my L2. I declined and left for home after completing my office hours.
Can my company terminate me during this period when I have already informed them about the pregnancy?

Hi,
Termination during the maternity period is illegal, even on the grounds of poor performance. However, you should ensure that you are eligible for maternity benefits. How long have you been employed with your current employer?
As per the Maternity Benefit Act 1961, a woman should have worked with her employer for at least 80 days in the 12 months preceding the date of her expected delivery. If she fulfills this requirement, then she can utilize the mandated maternity leave and any further leave or benefits that her employer provides her.

Based on what you have stated, it would be illegal for the company to terminate you since you are protected under the Maternity Benefit Act.
However, I suggest you keep records of your performance because they may use this as an excuse to remove you after you have completed your maternity leave.
Also, I suggest you speak to HR or a Welfare officer (if they have one) and seek their assistance.
