I was immediately terminated by company upon informing about my pregnancy with compensation of 4mths maternity. Hr sent a "reminder" note to me stating that i have to produce my child's birth cert once i have delivered in order for them to file the claims from govt. Am I obliged to give them?

Can I clarify what you mean in your first line? Do u mean they are going to compensate you 4 months worth of salary for your maternity leave? If so, a birth cert is required for them to file for the claims. The government pays 1 month while the company bears the remaining 3 months. In other words, even though you are terminated they are paying you 4 months of maternity leave right? In a way it is like a severance pay. You can contact MOM to find out your rights before accepting the company's terms or negotiate with them. Discuss with your family what is the best option for you in your current situation. I have heard of worse practice where the staff is let go without any compensation. With all that considered, remember not to stress yourself and your unborn. Your baby and your well being are more important. All the best to you, have a smooth pregnancy!

To begin with they shouldn't have terminated you and you should have gone to MOM and lodge a report against them for unlawful termination. I would suggest to you to call MOM and enquire. http://www.mom.gov.sg/employment-practices/leave/maternity-leave/maternity-leave-disputes

You do not need to give them the birth cert. Secondly, they shouldn't have terminate you due to pregnancy. It's not a valid excuse. Call MOM and enquire on your rights to see if you can fight for this case

so sorry to have heard that from you,if they want the child cert can,ask them for a letter of PROOF from HR just in case they denied after terminating you

there is no need for you to produce your child birth certificate. and they are not allowed to terminate you based on this reason.
