What can I do if being forced to resign?
I joined a company last month. The manager asked me to resign instead of terminating me, claiming they found out that my uncle had a criminal case filed, though I have not received any court summons. What are my rights?

A company cannot punish or terminate you for a criminal case involving your relative, especially if you have no summons or charges. Forced resignation is illegal. If proof exists, you can file a complaint with the Labour Commissioner or approach a court for wrongful termination and seek compensation.
