Dear HR/Personnel/Labour Law consultants,
I am writing from Chennai, Please advice me on ESI - Maternity Benefit Act. One woman employee is working with us for the past 3 yrs. Since she is drawing Rs.12000/- p.m. not covered by ESI upto April 2010. After that she become eligible for ESI coverege, now she wants to avail ESI materinity benefit. When she contacted the Local ESI office for materinity leave/benefit they are telling that we will not give any monetary benefit except medical benefit. As per ESI rule maternity benefit is available if she is worked 80 days before confinement. Kindly advice me on that issue, please.
Thanks and regards,
Ganpath
