Payless Leave For 3 Months

Hi,
I am Rashmi. I work in a pvt hospital. I applied for 3 months leave as my daughter delivered. Now, after 2.5 months,the management has sent me a notice of termination.
Is there any law which protects me?

Dear Rashmi,
FIRST CONGRTAS FOR UR NEW BORN BABY
Now, as far as in ur case it solely depends on the norms of ur joining letter & management policies pl.
FYI

right, if you took a 3 months leave in advance with an approval then the company has no right to terminate you

5. Right to payment of maternity benefit. -- (1) Subject to the provisions of this Act,
every woman shall be entitled to, and her employer shall be liable for, the payment of
maternity benefit at the rate of the average daily wage for the period of her actual absence
immediately preceding and including the day of her delivery and for the six weeks
immediately following that day.
Explanation. – For the purpose of this sub-section, the average daily wage means the
average of the woman’s wages payable to her for the days on which she has worked
during the period of three calendar months immediately preceding the date from which
she absents herself on account of maternity, or one rupee a day, whichever is higher.

I agree with taksh if you haven taken approval from higher authority for leave than its not legal

Dear Rashmi,
You are eligible to get Maternity Benefits from your employer if you are not covered under ESIC.
Its against law, they have terminated during your maternity period.
You can approach to labour board or can claim against your employer.

Maternity Benefit Act surely does not apply to a grand-child.
The OP was not the mother. Her daughter had a baby.
The main question is - was the leave approved ? or you just informed them that you wont come for 3 months.

Dear Rashmi ,
your query is ambiguous.Pleae clarify whether you proceeded leave for delivery of child or your daughter delivered.
I presume you have gone leave for delivery of your child , it is maternity leave which your aentitled to. employer can not terminate services.

Hi,
Thank you for your advice. It's not for my delivery. My daughter delivered. I took pre approved leave for 2 months initially, and then I sent a mail for its extension (for one more month). Now I got a letter with allegations and 'offer' of termination.

I want loss of pay leave for one more month.
How can I protect my job and as well as get leaves?
Thank you.
With regards
Rashmi.
