Hi,
Our company is registered under company\'s act 1956 and it has completed its 2 yrs. of establishment. It’s an IT company and as of now we are having total 15 employees working with us. One of our female employee has given an application for maternity leave but we do not have any provision for maternity leaves under our leave policy.
I would like to know as an employer whether we have to follow the maternity benefit compliance and what all provisions of the Act would be applicable to our company. In case we do not allow for maternity leave then what will be the implications on employer.
