Helping a pregnant lady to understand her legal rights

Julie had worked loyally as a Migrant Domestic Worker with the same employer for several years. When she discovered she was pregnant earlier this year, she was nervous—but her employer congratulated her warmly. They assured her she’d receive maternity leave and long service payment.

While their relationship was positive, Julie still wanted to ensure everything was clearly documented in writing. Without a legal background, she didn’t know how to protect her rights while maintaining trust.

That’s when she reached out to Equal Justice. Through CLIX, our pro bono matching portal, we helped Julie navigate her next steps. Our team listened carefully and prepared a clear, respectful termination letter that outlined her entitlements—maternity leave, final wages, and long service payment—on terms both sides could agree on.

Julie left her job not with uncertainty, but with confidence. Her employer signed the letter with appreciation, and Julie was free to focus on her pregnancy, knowing her rights were secure.

CLIX isn’t just for legal battles—it’s for legal peace of mind.
