Ans: I’m sorry to hear about your difficult situation. It’s important to know that as an employee, you have certain rights that may protect you in situations like these. Here are some steps you can consider:
Review Company Policies: Check your company’s policies on caregiving leave or remote work accommodations. Some companies may have provisions for such situations.
Legal Rights: Employees in India may have legal rights regarding caregiving responsibilities. It’s worth exploring whether there are any laws or legal precedents that support your need to care for ill family members.
Medical Documentation: Ensure you have all medical documentation for your mother and grandmother in order, as this can support your case for needing to work remotely or take leave.
HR Communication: Keep communicating with HR and document all interactions. Express your willingness to work and discuss possible compromises, such as part-time remote work.
Legal Consultation: If the situation doesn’t improve, consider consulting with a labor law attorney to understand your rights and the best course of action.
Labor Office: You may also approach the local labor office for guidance on how to handle this situation under the current employment laws.
Remember, it’s crucial to maintain a record of all communications and to approach the situation professionally. I hope you find a resolution that allows you to take care of your family while retaining your job. Good luck!
