Woman Sues Company After Allegedly Being Fired During COVID Medical Leave

A 41-year-old woman is suing an information technology company, alleging she was wrongfully fired in 2021 and falsely accused of abandoning her job while she was on medical leave as she and her double-transplant husband dealt with the coronavirus.

Jasleena Kaur’s Los Angeles Superior Court lawsuit against TPx Communications includes allegations of discrimination, whistleblower retaliation, harassment and both intentional and negligent infliction of emotional distress. Kaur seeks unspecified compensatory and punitive damages.

A TPx representative did not immediately reply to a request for comment on the suit filed April 12.

Kaur was hired as a customer care representative in 2003 and by 2011 she had been promoted to account management, according to the suit, which further states she earned multiple employment awards over time.
