Hi All,
I am working with one of the IT/Software Private Limited companies in Pune.
I wanted to apply for the Maternity leave and for that I discussed with our HR Manager for the same. She informed me that orally,
"You need to take the leave 1.5 months (6 weeks) before the Expected Delivery Date (EDD) and 6 weeks after EDD. You will not get salary per month as per regular schedule instead you will get it after 3 months when you resume the job. Moreover she pointed out that you will not get any Salary if I would not be able to resume/join the work on the specific date after the 6 weeks of delivery."
Hence I have smoe queries regarding the same as below:
1. My expected date of delivery is 15th Sep 2012, hence 6 weeks prior date would be 1st Aug. 2012. In such scenario, on which date should I apply for the Maternity leave to get all the benefits?
2. Are Maternity Paid leave and Maternity Benefits are diferent things? i.e. do we get any monetary benefits along with 3 months paid salary?
3. If I take leave from 1st Aug. 2012 i.e. 6 weeks prior to EDD, should I get full salary in advance? Or should I get regular monthly salary?
My Managment is saying that, I will not get any salary in between Maternity leave period of 3 months. They will give me all 3 months salary when I resume the work after 3 months. Plus if I unable to resume the job on that particular date after 3 months then they will not give me any salary at all.
4. Is it neccessary to resume the work on the particular date after 3 months of Maternity leave? What if, I would not be able to join on that particular date due to health issues?
5. Is the Maternity Benefit Act is same for all the companies in India, especially for PVT. LTD. Software companies in Maharashtra? Or is it different for every state?
6. Can any Pvt. Ltd. Software company change in the Maternity Benefit Act and make the Maternity Policy as per their convenience?
7. How should I proceed with this to my Management to get all the benefits under Maternity leave?
Please provide me the answers ASAP..!!
Thanks!!
