If it is permissible for the female employee to sue her employer in a case of dismissal, then her colleague must testify for her if required, provided her testimony is beneficial and she would not incur harm, and she was asked to testify. However, if it is not legally permissible for the employee to sue her employer, then her colleague is not allowed to assist her.
