HR Manager Fired In Punjab For Not Letting Boss Deduct Salary on Raksha Bandhan

Chandigarh: A woman working as HR Manager at a company in Punjab got fired as she was not on the same page with her boss over the leave policy related to Raksha Bandhan. 

As per the woman's account, her  “toxic boss” had framed a policy that those employees who take leave on the occasion of Raksha Bandha will lose seven days of salary. 

HR Manager was not okay with this policy and it resulted in her getting sacked from the company, she claimed. 

“Tried to take a stand for what was wrong as per the laws. But got a termination letter as a result. He mentioned in the email that he will give 2 weeks of time to me but he revoked all the access so that I can leave immediately. This is my chat with my boss and he terminated me because I took a stand and suggested to him that we cannot deduct 7 days of salary for 1 day of absence,” Woman wrote on LinkedIn.

Company Hits Back 

“She is playing the victim card,” the company where she was employed said on her sacking. 

“It is easy to play victim card and get sympathy.” In the post, the company alleged that the woman was not diligent in working, used her working hours to do her daughter’s homework, failed to manage the company’s social media page, and more,” they added. 

Social Media Users Support HR

An individual wrote "Seems the boss is still promoting colonial rule and slavery. Stay Strong.” Another user urged her to file a case in the labour court against the company.

Raksha Bandhan is set to be celebrated on August 19.
