Hi I have worked in a CBSE affiliated private school in Faridabad. I work there for seven years three months they were not giving me maternity leave so I resigned. Now I m asking about gratuity but they r not giving. They have got signed on papers on which it is written that they will not pay gratuity, bonus and el. Is it possible to get gratuity and EL encashment . can I file case under maternity act also. I left the school on 8 August 2014. My baby was born on 19 Nov 2014. In how much time I can apply? Please advise.
