Dear Client,

Immediate transfer on the very day of joining after maternity leave, especially without clear justification, can be challenged as unfair and discriminatory if it is linked to your maternity status. An employer cannot take adverse action merely because you availed maternity benefits.

You should send a written representation to HR objecting to the transfer, stating your circumstances, lack of prior notice, and requesting reconsideration or suitable accommodation. Keep all communication in writing.

If the employer does not respond, you may challenge the action as unfair labour practice and seek relief. Please consult a local advocate for appropriate legal action.
