Maternity Benefits in Small IT Companies: What Should Be Offered to Support Female Employees?

Maternity Benefits in IT Companies

What are the maternity benefits given to female employees in IT companies specifically? Can anyone suggest what kind of maternity benefits must be given in a company with an employee strength of around 50 people?

Please advise.

The nature of business or activities pursued by any company, such as whether it is an IT or trading company, does not alter the provisions of labor legislation (unless explicitly implied), including the provisions and benefits of maternity leave for eligible employees. However, it is within the discretion of employers to provide additional benefits beyond what is required by law.

Warm regards.
