From the Date of Delivery, she can take 12 calendar weeks of maternity leave. It is not compulsory to avail 6 weeks prior to expected date of delivery. Jayakumar C

She can take 12 weeks leaves. Companies usually pays the salary and medical expenses on submission of relevant documents. However if incentives are performance based, since she is not preforming during these 12 weeks she may not get the incentives.

I request the members to indicate which law says that she is entitled for 12 weeks leave with benefits fro the day of confinement.If nobody gives any reference to the provisions of law,it is presumed that there is no such law except employer's policy which is not law.

Sec 5 says :
(3) The maximum period for which any woman shall be entitled to maternity benefit shall be twelve weeks, that is to say, six weeks up to and including the day of her delivery and six weeks immediately following that day:
The provision is related to death during child birth and not applicable above
So the period of 12 weeks definitely is split into 6 and 6 weeks prior and after delivery. It can not be merged to 12 weeks after. The employer is always allowed to give more than required by the act
