Dear Monika,

As per the Maternity Benefit Act of 1961, a female employee is entitled to take 12 weeks of leave, i.e., 6 weeks before the delivery and 6 weeks after the delivery. However, the female employee is entitled to receive the maternity benefits only if she has completed 160 days in that company within a year.

Regarding work timings, after delivery, the female is also entitled to have an additional two 30-minute breaks to take care of the child. The general working hours for females should be between 7:00 am to 9:00 pm. No female employee should work after 9:00 pm until 7:00 am.

Best regards,

Dear Monika,

In the retail sector, whether it be female employees working in malls or outlets/stores at malls, they do not have separate HR policies. They are governed by and entitled to all benefits applicable to other sectors.
