07. IDENTIFY PREGNANCY DISCRIMINATION

-

 


If you're concerned you are a target of pregnancy-related discrimination, "the first step is always to document everything," says Sandra Marks, general counsel at an employment and industrial firm.

That includes keeping notes of the date and time the alleged discrimination happens.

 


If you speak to your boss or someone else at work about the alleged discrimination face-to-face, Ms. Marks recommends making a file note and sending a follow-up email confirming the content of that meeting.

If your job is terminated and you're not given written reasons for the termination, it's generally best to request the reasons in writing.

All these details can help you prove your grievance if you need them later.


7.2 Summary of the Grievance Process


If an employee is not satisfied with the grievance result who can apply the below-mentioned options:

                     §  EVLN model

The EVLN model is an important framework used to describe employee responses to job dissatisfaction. It contemplates that employees will respond to job dissatisfaction in varying ways according to their personality and their situations, and in general will respond through the fight, flight, complacency, or de-motivation.



Applying the EVLN model

     



                §  Whistleblowing :

In this policy ‘Whistleblowing’ means the reporting by employees of suspected misconduct, illegal acts, or failure to act within the Council.

  Principles of grievance handling are guidelines for the efficient and effective settlement of a grievance. It is very important to settle a grievance always at the lowest level if possible. This was mentioned earlier as a principle presented by the Indian institute of personal management to be followed in designing it. 5.2. The Immediate superior should follow the following principles for efficient and effective grievance handling:                               v   Treat all grievances as important: The grievance procedure should be demonstrated fairly. The attitude of the supervisor is very important. He should accept the employee’s right to appeal as long as no by-passing is involved. In a unionized company, supervisors should also recognize the employees’ right to be represented by a union official, if they so desire.                               v   Obtain all the relevant information: It is important to get information not only from the employee who presents the complaint but

  About half of the Sri Lankan mothers say they've experienced some form of pregnancy discrimination in the telecommunication industry. But that doesn't mean we all know what it looks like in practice.  As I have researched, Some expectant mothers who work in the telecommunications industry face a variety of problems from the managers they report to. For example, it can be difficult to take time off to go to the clinic, affect performance at the end of the maternity leave year, and sometimes make them mentally ill. HR divisions often take the manager's side in employee grievances that occur in similar situations. That makes them even more embarrassed. 6.1Which of the following is pregnancy discrimination?                     v   Mrs.Meneka has been a loyal, faithful and diligent employee in the telecommunication industry, she really had a doubt about why she has been treated unequally and unfairly.
