The provision has to be carried out by every establishment. Not only that it has been made mandatory for the employer to intimate to every woman employee at the time of her recruitment, as the amended Act specifies, as follows:
"Every establishment shall intimate in writing and electronically to every woman at the time of her initial appointment regarding every benefit available under the Act."
