Dear All,
Extract of the maternity benefit Act 2017 is appended.
THE MATERNITY BENEFIT (AMENDMENT) ACT, 2017
NO. 6 OF 2017
4. In the principal Act, after section 11, the following section shall be inserted, namely:—
‘‘11A. (1) Every establishment having fifty or more employees shall have the
facility of créche within such distance as may be prescribed, either separately or along
with common facilities :
Provided that the employer shall allow four visits a day to the creche by the
woman, which shall also include the interval for rest allowed to her.
(2) 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.’’
The Act stipulated that creche should be provided in case of establishment having fifty or more employees.
I need a clarification on the aspect of gender of the employees--50 female employees or a mix of males and females.
Is it mandatory in case employees are predominantly male with very few female employees ?
As per the notification, the facility is to be provided irrespective of gender.In case all employees are male than ,is the facility still to be provided ?
May I have your learned views please.
