I am working in a hospital where it is a policy that to avail maternity leave it is required to complete one year in the organisation. and an employee who was pregnant but did not complete one year is on leave without pay for 84 days because as per the company policy she cannot avail maternity leave.
Is this policy legally correct? Also tell me that if it is wrong and is challenged in court then what punishment can the employer get?
