Hi,
Our company is located at Chennai. One female staff joined from 01.12.2010 as Receptionist.
On April 1 2011 she has given leave application for 3 months from April 1 2011 due to preganancy and her expected date of delivery is during first week of April 2011 and proceeded on leave. She is under ESI coverage and her gross salary is Rs.9000/- p.m. Kindly clarify the following since this is the first case of maternity leave we are facing in our company
1. Whether she can claim Maternity benefits under ESI. If so what are the benefits she will be eligible to receive.
2. If she cannot avail benefits from ESI and to be given by the company what are the benefits to be given by the company to her.
3. Can she take 12 weeks maternity leave at a stretch
4. Will the statutory deductions of PF, ESI etc be applicable on the maternity benefits if to be paid by the company.
Regards
erv
