Hi HRs,
I need your opinion on below case.
One of our employee asking to take 2 months LOP (March and April) before eligible maternity start date as per Maternity Act (Amendment) 2017. We don't have any objection to approve the Maternity Period as per Government Act which is allowed to take 8 weeks prior to delivery and 18 weeks after the delivery, where in she asked to start before 16 weeks and around 26 weeks after the delivery.
Can anyone suggest me, what we can do in this case. Since we only can allow the period required as per Maternity Benefit Act, but not prior to the effective start date as per policy, which is 8 weeks.
Please advise me.
