Hye, i would like to share a issue and expecting favorable reply.
One female employee is working since 3 years, in establishment where employees strength are only 8. In this year 2020, she got pregnant and inform verbally to the HR dept about her pregnancy. HR dept asked to submit the leave application with proper handover in the month of January or February so that if there any provision of maternity benefit to her it will be told to her that time only. because before that, company has never given any maternity benefit to any employee. she didnt submit her leave application and didnt handover anything, meanwhile lockdown has started from 23rd march, and as she asked by the hr dept about the date of delivery in the lockdown period which she never shared to the organisation before the lockdown. d.o.d will be 10th may as she replied.
Our industry is directly connected with Hospitality sector, which is worst affected from this travel bans and worldwide lockdown. we have given march 20 full salary, in april we told her to apply the leave atleast, she send the email the leave i.e., 03rd April 20 to 01st August 20.
during the lockdown period, i told her through conversation that, maternity benefit will not be given as company donot have enough funds so it will be decided when you join back. and our establishment does not falls under the ambit of the Maternity Benefit Act.
We didnt disburse her April salary for which she is sending email about her salary, i told her that her applied leave has considered as unpaid leave. and the rules which is framed to be followed in the maternity benefit and she didnt follow any rules she didnt submit any pregnancy report to the organisation and not even the date of deilivery on which basis we give her maternity benefit and she never did any work from home during the leave. but she is not able to understand and asking about her april salary. Kindly share your views.
