Questions have been raised on:
Whether it is legally mandatory for the employer to communicate the recent amendments made in Maternity Benefit Act of 1961, to all the employees (either written or electronically) once it takes effect..?
What is inserted (in the amendment) is that 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. So what about existing employees. There are few organizations who do not want to explicitly communicate the changes to existing employees of the change, though, are absolutely OK with providing all the benefits once the employee initiates the Maternity leaves.
