Dear Seniors,
Kindly guide me, ours is a SSI unit. One female employee lastly worked till 21.01.2014. She didn't come to work from 22.01.2014 and no written information is given by her. She orally told that she is pregnant. On 07.03.2014 she came to our office and given her resignation letter ( reason as not feeling well). She expects delivery around last week of July'2014. She said that she is not working in any other concerns & she is taking rest in home. She is covered under ESI. Whether we have to pay maternity leave ?. (some says 8 weeks before or after delivery is entitled for Maternity leave). Kindly clarify me.
