Forced to take booster jab

Hi All, I am currently in my first trimester and was given a medical ineligibility memo to take my booster jab after first trim (early March 22) as I am on heavy preg support medications due to spotting earlier on. my HR not only did not recognise the Dr's memo, they issued me no pay leave w.e.f 14 Feb 22 until I take my booster jab. So essentially if I choose to take in third trim or after I deliver, I will be on no pay leave for almost a year. Is anyone else experiencing this difficult decision? having no pay leave means I am unable to pay for hdb house loan and first born's school fees. Do you think MOM will step in or will the efforts be futile? I am in an admin position so wfh definitely workable since I have been doing that since 2021.

I’d definitely appeal to hr and suggest for this case to be escalated to MOM for input, because this seems to be employer shirking responsibility of their obligation to pay you for your maternity leave

yes will definitely look for MOM if they do not give me my paid maternity leave ! as long as I've worked there for more than 3 months I'm eligible :) thanks for sharing!
