Dear Seniors,
Greetings for the Day,
Sir, I need your suggestion regarding Maternity Benefit Act, 1961 under section 10 (Leave for illness arising out of pregnancy, delivery, premature birth of child, or miscarriage) which describes that if a woman suffering illness arising out of pregnancy, delivery , premature birth of child or miscarriage shall, on production of such proof as may be prescribed, be entitled in addition to the period of absence allowed to her under section 6 , or , as the case may be , under 9, to leave with wages at the rate of maternity benefit for a maximum period of one month.
Our company employee is demanding one month more leave under section 10.
We have already paid 80 days leave (from 7th Nov-12 to 25th Jan-13) remaining 4 days leave will pay with Feb-13 salary. We didn’t pay Medical Bonus till yet. She had to join on 30th Jan-13 but didn't join and now she is saying she require one month more leave.
According to Sec-10 we have to pay 6 week + one month after delivery means total 72 days(Date of Delivery 10-12-2012 to 19-02-2013) payment to her after delivery and she will have to join on 20th Feb-13 but she is saying she will join on first week of March-13.
Sir, Pls suggest how to manage one month or more than one month leave and its rate of payment and what action can company take if employee doesn't join company after taken Maternity Benefit.
