Navigating Maternity Leave and PIP: What Are the Rules for Proprietorships?

Hello,

Please let me know how much should be the maternity leave for the women employees for the company which is a proprietorship?

Also, I want to know if an employee's performance is not found satisfactory even after being put in a PIP (Performance Improvement Program), does he/she get terminated directly, or is allowed to serve further notice? What is the payout like? Does the employee get salary for the consecutive month in case of termination?

Maternity Leave Coverage

The coverage and quantum of maternity leave as per the MB Act of 1961 remain the same irrespective of the nature of the establishment one works in, be it proprietorship, partnership, cooperative, or a company incorporated.
