Experience gap due to maternity - old company relieved her early as they can avoid paying maternity benefits

Hi all,

This post is on behalf of my wife. She got selected in an IT MNC while she was 7 months pregnant. The company initially asked her to join in 2 months, but once we explained the situation, they were kind enough to extend the joining date by an additional 3 months, making it a total of 5 months. However, her old company relieved her early to avoid paying maternity benefits, which is completely fine with us.

The question now is that she has a gap of almost 4 months. Does this create any issues during joining?

Thanks a lot

The gap can be satisfactorily explained with the stated reasons.
